Grilled Salmon with Lemon Yogurt Dill Sauce

https://thegreeneberger.com/p/recipes.html?recipe_id=6063173
I am absolutely loving this beautiful weather, and with the warm spring temperatures comes the two G’s: Grilling and Greens.  Our garden is booming with leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, and leaf lettuces, not to mention the greens we also got from our CSA!  What to do but make a new recipe that will combat this excellent problem to have.
How about a grilled salmon recipe with a delicious sauce served over a bead of fresh tender leafy greens?  I’ll take that on a Tuesday night!  Sometimes to spice up your meal you just need a flavorful yet simple rub and sauce, and they’re a lot easier to whip up than you may think.  I like using Salmon for this recipe but almost any fish will work.
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be bland and boring…enjoy your healthy real foods!
For the lemon garlic dill sauce I use my homemade plain yogurt and it is super simple to whip together.  Homemade yogurt is generally tolerated even by those with dairy intolerance; however, for a dairy-free option, you can substitute a dairy-free plain yogurt or blended ripe avocado and olive oil in place of the yogurt.
