Tandoori Salmon
Report
Salmon marinated in a spicy, warm tandoori marinade and cooked to perfection for a flavorful weeknight meal!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound wild salmon fillet boneless **
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste paste
- 2 teaspoons garlic paste paste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon Kashmiri red chili powder **
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry salmon with paper towel and cut into 3 or 6 pieces.
- In a medium bowl mix ginger, garlic, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric, lemon juice, oil and salt. Add salmon and coat with spice paste evenly on both sides using a small silicone spatula. You can allow this to marinate for 20 mins or cook right away if you are short on time.
Oven Recipe:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange salmon on it. Broil on high for 8 to 10 minuets or until salmon starts to brown on the top and flakes easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness of the salmon adjust the cooking time.
Air Fryer Recipe:
- Preheat the Airfryer at 400 F for 5 mins. Air Fry at 380 for 8 to 10 minutes. If you have cut salmon into smaller pieces it will cook in just 5 minutes.
- Serve with cumin rice and a side of spicy cabbage salad. For a low carb meal, serve it with caulilfower rice.
Notes
- The best place to buy salmon is at a fish market. I also like the wild salmon fillet from Costco. You can also buy frozen salmon but try to buy wild-caught. If using frozen salmon, make sure to defrost it overnight in the refrigerator before marinating.
- Pat dry the salmon before marinating to avoid extra liquids.
- Marinate the salmon for at least 20 minutes.
- You can use salmon skinless or with skin on.
- Use fresh garam masala. Homemade garam masala works the best.
- Kashmiri red chili powder is a mild chili powder. If using spicier red chili powder, reduce the quantity to ½ or 1 teaspoon.
