INGREDIENTS

• Vegetable oil (for grill)
• 2 serrano chiles
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
• 1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
• 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp. honey
• 2 (12-oz.) bone-in salmon steaks
• Kosher salt

PREPARATION

1. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove and discard seeds from 1 chile. Purée both chiles, garlic, cilantro, yogurt, oil, honey, and 1/4 cup water in a blender until smooth; season well with salt. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
2. Season salmon steaks lightly with salt. Grill, turning once or twice, until flesh is starting to turn opaque, about 4 minutes. Continue to grill, turning often and basting with remaining sauce, until opaque all the way through, about 4 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.
