Cooking Steps
- Before starting, lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 500°F).
- To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and broth concentrates. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
- Halve cucumber lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Strip dill leaves from stems, then roughly chop.
- Trim and discard bottom 1-inch from asparagus. To a plate, add asparagus and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon in half, crosswise.
- Drain, then roughly chop olives.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Transfer salmon to a plate, then brush both sides with oil-spice mixture.
- Bring salmon, asparagus and lemon halves to the grill.
- To one side of the grill, add salmon, skin-side down. Close lid and grill for 6-9 min, until salmon is cooked through.** (NOTE: Grill in batches if there isn't enough space.)
- Meanwhile, to the other side of the grill, add asparagus and lemon halves (cut-side down). (TIP: Arrange asparagus spears across grill grates to keep them from falling through!)
- Close lid and grill asparagus and lemon for 2-4 min, flipping only the asparagus once, until tender-crisp.
- Return to the same plate.
- In a large bowl, whisk together half the dill, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Add tomatoes, cucumbers and olives. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in remaining dill, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter.
- Divide rice, salmon, salad and asparagus between plates.
- Drizzle yogurt sauce over top.
- Sprinkle feta over salad.
- Squeeze a grilled lemon wedge over top, if you like.
