Tandoori Salmon

Pan Grilled Salmon, with ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and chilli powder, paired with no cook yogurt mint dip.
It’s all worth it for the no-smell, omega-packed salmon. While salmon is rather pricey in Malaysia compared to our local catch, a simple pan-grilled salmon with lemon juice, crushed pepper, and salt is one of the best ways to have it.

 

Tandoor-style salmon, on the other hand, brings in Indian spices, making it a tasty, healthy dish (STEAMED FISH THAI STYLE). 

 

Traditionally, North-Indian Tandoori Salmon is cooked in a tandoor oven, or oven-baked for a home version. But the pan-grilled version is just as satisfying. Served with a no-cook mint dip, also known as mint chutney, and a crisp salad, it becomes a complete, restaurant-style salmon meal at home.


Best of all, most ingredients are commonly stocked for North or South Indian cooking (COCONUT MILK CHICKEN CURRY). 

 

A light char on both sides of the salmon, served with raw mint yogurt chutney, makes for an utterly satisfying home-cooked Tandoori Salmon. Affordable, nutritious, and full of taste, it can also be paired with rice for an Indian-style meal.

 

This easy recipe shows how to cook salmon effortlessly without compromising deliciousness.
