• 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 medium Lemon, zest and juice
• 1 large Mango, ripe but firm; peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 medium Cucumber, peeled and thinly slice using a peeler
• ¼ cup Mint, finely chopped
• 6 tablespoon Plain greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon Ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• Extra mint leaf or cilantro
• Sliced fresh chillies

Instructions

• 1 Combine all the marinade in a deep dish. Add the salmon and the rest of the
  marinade and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• 2 When ready, lightly coat a bunched-up paper towel with oil and wipe the clean
  grill grate. Prepare two cooking zones: medium-high heat(375°F-450°F) on one
  side and low heat (250°F) on the other side. Close the lid, Pre-heat for 15-20
  minutes. Remove the salmon from the marinade leaving a thin coat of the
  marinade.
• 3 Open the grill and place the salmon skin-side down on the high heat zone, cook
  for 4-6 minutes. Use a flat spatula, gently flip to the other side and continue
  cooking for another 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness and your desired
  doneness. It is ready when it is opaque at the center and flakes easily when
  pushing with a fork or knife. Transfer on a plate and let it rest for a few
  minutes before serving.
• 4 Preheat the oven to 425°F convection/450°F standard. Line a baking sheet with
  aluminum foil and lightly brush with aluminum foil. Place the fish on the
  prepared sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes depending on their thickness or
  until opaque at the center and flakes easily
• 5 Combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
• 6 Pile the mango and cucumber salad on a plate, place the grilled salmon on top,
  sprinkle some garnish and serve immediately.
