Ingredients:
1/2 cup 2% greek-style plain yogurt |
1/4 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
4 (6-ounce) arctic char or salmon fillets, skinned |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
lime wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients; chill.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add fillets to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Serve fillets with sauce and lime wedges, if desired.
3. Wine note: This menu dances beautifully with the Weingut Knoll Loibner Grüner Veltliner Federspiel 2007 ($30). The cool dollop of cucumber yogurt is spun dizzy by citrus notes ranging from tart lime to sweet tangerine, and a long finish of green peppercorn is a subtle counterpoint to the coconut-intensified rice. -Alexander Spacher
