Grilled Salmon with Mint and Yogurt Dip

Last weekend we visited dear friends of ours, Mudita and Devraj who moved into wonderful house in Canberra that they have been building for a while.To make up for the lost party weekends, we decided to have a carnivorous dinner party. Devraj was keen to try my Moroccan lamb recipe and  I insisted he make his excellent fish. Simple yet delicious,  here's how he makes the grilled salmon.
