Salmon with Cilantro-Yogurt Sauce + Red Pepper Coconut Rice

I love any semblance of a tzatiki sauce and this was a great one. It paired really nicely with a simple fish and the rice was a great accompaniment. Remember how I LOVE coconut rice? This one is no different. 



1/2 c 2% Greek Style Yogurt (we use Chobani)
1/4 c peeled, finely chopped cucumber
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp fresh lime juice
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
4  (6 oz) artic char or salmon fillets
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

1. Combine first 5 ingredients; chill.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fillets with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Add fillets to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Serve fillets with sauce and lime wedges, if desired.

Red Pepper Coconut Rice

1 c Jasmine rice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 can light coconut milk.
1/4 c diced red bell pepper

Bring first 4 ingredients to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in red bell pepper. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.

Both recipes from Cooking Light.
