Grilled Salmon with Citrus Yoghurt Sauce

This grilled salmon with citrus yogurt sauce is a sophisticated yet simple heart-healthy dish that celebrates fresh flavours. The succulent salmon fillet is grilled until perfectly tender and paired with a bright, cooling sauce made from Greek yogurt, lime, and a hint of orange. It is a fantastic choice for those looking to introduce more oily fish into their diet without sacrificing taste, offering a beautiful balance of richness and acidity.

Ideal for a light midweek supper or a casual weekend lunch, this recipe is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein. Serve the salmon alongside a crisp green salad or some steamed seasonal greens to keep the meal nutritious and gluten-free. The addition of a little honey in the sauce helps to mellow the citrus, making it a family-friendly favourite that feels truly restorative.
