1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt |
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger |
2 cloves minced garlic |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, to taste |
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint |
1 tablespoon chopped scallion |
1 lb salmon |
