Don’t be intimidated by the number of spices in this recipe—they are easy to gather and add so much flavor to the salmon. The natural sugars in the yogurt caramelize while cooking in the high heat, so the salmon bites are very flavorful. This recipe is one for busy days as it takes just under 30 minutes to make.
