Grilled Moroccan Salmon 
Source: The PCOS Diet Cookbook

If broiling fish in your oven, spray broiler rack with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

4 salmon fillets or steaks (1.5 lb/750 g) 
1 tsp ground cumin 
1/2 tsp paprika 
1 tsp thyme 
Salt and pepper, to taste 
1/2 tbsp olive oil 
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 
1 lemon, sliced 

1. Preheat grill or broiler. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with seasonings. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and lemon juice. 

2. If using the grill, place fish in a lightly greased grill basket. Grill over hot coals (or under the broiler) 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill lemon slices quickly. Use as a garnish for salmon.
