  **aioli**
1/4 cup 59mlReduced-calorie mayonnaise
1/4 cup 59mlPlain nonfat yogurt
2   Garlic - minced

1/2 tablespoon 7.5mlGround cumin
1/2 tablespoon 7.5mlBlack pepper
1/2 tablespoon 7.5mlWhite pepper
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGround cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

To make the spice mix, place all spices in a small food processor work bowl and pulse to crumble and combine ingredients. Store in a covered jar.

Whisk the aioli ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth; cover and refrigerate (it may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for several days).

Preheat a coal or gas grill to medium-high. Pour the blackening mix onto a plate and dredge the snapper in it to evenly coat both sides. Place on the hot grill and cook 4 minutes.

Turn and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Fish is done when it separates easily when a fork is inserted and twisted in the thickest part. Serve immediately, passing the aioli.
