SALMON WITH YOGURT-CURRY SAUCE
With its rich flesh, salmon is so strongly flavored that you can pair it with just about anything. Here I cook it with a yogurt sauce that contains just chopped cucumber and spices. If you use farmed salmon and a nonstick skillet, you won't even need to add any fat. That's because farmed salmon is so high in fat (fattier than wild salmon, and it's the beneficial omega-3 type, too) that it's difficult to overcook. This is not to say you can put it on the stove and walk away, but that precision is a goal rather than a necessity. Even if you like your fish cooked through, the result will be a piece of meat that still has a fair amount of moisture in it.

Steps:
- If yogurt is very thin, put it in a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Chop flesh, sprinkle it with salt and put in a strainer over a bowl.
- If making spice mix (see note), combine all spices in a skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Grind to a coarse powder in a spice mill.
- Put a skillet over medium heat; if it is other than nonstick, add oil. Season fish with salt and pepper and add it to pan; raise heat to medium high. Combine cucumber with yogurt and one tablespoon of spice mix in a bowl; taste and adjust seasoning.
- After salmon has cooked for 4 minutes, turn it and cook on other side another 2 to 5 minutes. Serve, browned side up, with sauce and lime on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon should have a vibrant pink color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy odor.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon can be cooked to a variety of doneness levels, from rare to well-done. The best way to cook salmon is to use a gentle cooking method, such as baking or poaching, to prevent it from drying out.
- Make sure the cucumber-yogurt sauce is well-chilled before serving. The sauce will be more refreshing and flavorful if it is served cold.
- Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Salmon with cucumber-yogurt sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the sauce is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
