EASY GREEK YOGURT CUCUMBER SAUCE
This concoction is a result of my experimental efforts in trying to copy a favorite Greek restaurant's tzatziki sauce. Serve with gyros, pita bread, chips, or raw veggies.

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.

- Bake the salmon. Preheat an oven to 325F. Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel, then place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the salmon with 2 Tbsp olive oil, then season with 1 tsp onion salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 135F is reached in the thickest side of the salmon. Set aside to cool.
- Make the yogurt dill sauce. Place ½ cup Greek yogurt into a small mixing bowl. Add 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp finely chopped dill. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Thinly slice cucumbers. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber on a diagonal (this will create larger pieces) about ¼" thick. You don't want them too thin, or they won't be able to hold the weight of the yogurt sauce and salmon.
- Assemble the cucumber stacks. Use two forks to flake the salmon into bite-size pieces, then place a small portion on top of each cucumber slice. Next, dollop about ½ tsp yogurt sauce on top.
