You know how fond I am of doing a one pot meal during weeknights. When I came home last week on Thursday, I was in the mood for minimal cooking but lots of flavor and spices. As it was almost the end of the week, my choices were limited. After some thought, I took out the salmon and decided to bake it tandoori style with some roast vegetables. Two hours later, I had some delicious dinner on the table!
I have to confess, this was my first time baking fish with tandoori masala, and I had no idea if it was going to be a good fit. But you can look at the results. And the yogurt marinade, in my opinion, brought out the creaminess of the salmon which of course complimented the spices.
Ingredients:
24 ounces salmon
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tbspoon lemon juice
1 tbspoon minced ginger-garlic paste
1 tspoon cumin seed powder
3/4 tspoon red chilli powder
1/2 tspoon turmeric powder
1/2 tspoon garam masala powder
pinch of fresh ground pepper
Salt to taste
Method:
Thaw the salmon. In a bowl mix the yogurt with the spices. Put it in a plastic bag, put in the fish, mix it together and let it marinade for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 370 deg F. Place the salmon (and it my case, the salmon and the veggies) on a tray and bake it for 20-30 min till the fish is completely cooked. After baking it for 22 min, I put the heat to broil for last 3 min to get some of the browning you see in the picture.
Serve warm.
