Grilled Salmon Fillet Recipe with Cucumber-Dill Sauce

This grilled salmon fillet recipe is just made for summer time grilling. Dill is always popular with Salmon and other fish and seafood. The cucumbers just make this sauce taste so fresh and the bell peppers add flavor and color to the sauce.

My wife is just not a big fan of having skin on her fish when served. So I either remove it for her or better yet I try to buy skinless salmon fillets.

If you happen to find some skinless salmon fillets, I would suggest you grill them in a fish grill basket.

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
