Lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high. -
Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, process the sauce ingredients until chunky. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. -
In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, coriander, salt, and cayenne. Sprinkle the mixture onto the flesh side of the fish. Using your fingertips, gently press the mixture so it adheres to the fish. -
Grill the fish for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness. Remove the skin if desired (tongs work well for this). Serve the fish with the sauce.
Cooking Tip: Grill salmon with the skin still on so it doesn’t fall apart when you turn it on the grill. The skin comes off easily once the fish is cooked.
