We’ve cooked this easy Indian salmon a load of times now. The salmon is really soft and tender and the flavours are fab! Nice with potatoes and a green salad or with other Indian dishes.
Grilled masala salmon – serves 2
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ⅛ tsp ground coriander
- ⅛ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper
- 340g skinned salmon fillet
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
Mix the salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric and cayenne pepper together, then rub all over the salmon fillet. Cover and leave in the fridge for 1-4 hours.
Heat the oven to 180C/Gas 4, and heat the grill to it’s highest setting.
Mix the mustard, oil and lemon juice together and add the chopped coriander. Rub this all over the fish and place under the grill until the top has slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to the oven and bake for about 10 minute or until cooked through.
