Salmon Marinade

Rice

Sauce

Method

Marinating the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the Yemeni spice blend, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon steaks in a large dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all sides are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 3

    Prepare the Clay Oven

    Preheat the traditional clay oven or a grill to a high temperature.

  2. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon steaks on the grill or in the clay oven. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add basmati rice and salt. Stir and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
