    Preparation Process:

    1. Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, combine saffron, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil. Add the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
    2. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice. Set aside.
    3. Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Place the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil. Grill or broil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
    4. Plate and Serve: Place a dollop of yogurt sauce on each plate. Top with a grilled salmon fillet and garnish with fresh dill and parsley.

    Total Time: 45 minutes (including marinating time)
