The salmon is marinated in an herbal bath for 15 minutes before being cooked on the barbecue grill (or baked).
The cold sauce is an interesting combination of flavors: the tart yogurt, the sweet, earthy brown sugar and the hot mustard all work surprisingly well with the sweet salmon.
Plus it’s quick and easy….
