Indian-Spiced Salmon

What's my story to this Indian-Spiced Salmon today? Of course, obviously, in my house, it has to be Indian for my Indian other half-half. Indian style cooking basically no matter what. Remember, I have already shared this matter to Indian and his food love (Rice Congee With Condiments)? Precisely. And the other I must also share with you is fish love being his food love (Spicy Grilled Fish, Chilli Lime Fish & Kerala Fish Fry). Fish and fish and fish indeed I think forever, for the longest time, now and forever (Fish Sambar, Grilled Fish Sambal, Grilled Fish In Banana Leaf, Malaysian Indian Fish Curry, Assam Fish Curry & Chili Soy Fish). Usually, most of the time, I stick to our local catch which is very much cheaper. But I guess, every now and then, we can afford the rather pricey salmon? Sure. Why not? If its a once a while affair, I too won't hesitate. The fresh piece of salmon getting to my attention in the hypermarket, I literally couldn't ignore. Back home with salmon and then, as usual? Buying I think is easier compared to deciding what style to cooking? Always. Instead of the same style like the previous (Grilled Salmon), I decided to uplift salmon alongside curry leaves and plain chilli powder. Yep. Another simplicity again and only two of these much sorted after and much, akin a must for our Indian dishes (Egg Curry Masala, Curried Roast Chicken & Indian-Style Mustard Greens). Moreover, I thought grilling will be a better option compared to frying (Grilled Fish Sandwich). Not that I am against frying, but when you have already invested in a portable over the stove grill, you might as well? Of course. Salmon marinated alongside plain chilli powder, curry leaves and salt, up next after at least 4 hours, grilling. Crispy on the outside, beautiful curry leaves waffling and tenderness to its core inside salmon. Oh, before I forget, you can consider pairing Indian-Spiced Salmon alongside Ghee Rice & Cucumber Yogurt Salad.
