Minted cucumber salad
No time for a marinade? A spice rub is an easy way to add flavor to grilled meat or fish--without the wait.
While the grill heats, toast a mixture of spices in a dry skillet until fragrant, then grind them into a fine powder using a spice or coffee grinder. Just make sure it’s not the one that grinds your coffee beans. Using your fingers, rub the surface of the fish with the ground mixture. This spice rub features cumin, coriander and cinnamon--three spices commonly found in Moroccan cuisine.
To round out the meal, add a cucumber salad with minted vinaigrette, and serve fresh fruit for dessert.
Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mint, sugar, salt and pepper in large bowl. Just before serving, toss the cucumber and red onion with the vinaigrette.
