Grilled Salmon With Indian Spices And Raita Recipes

Steps:

• Heat broiler. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, ginger, turmeric, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Spray a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Place salmon on pan. Spread yogurt mixture on top of fillets, dividing evenly. Broil until fish is just opaque throughout, 12 to 14 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix Raita ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In 4-quart saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot. Add yellow onion; cook and stir about 4 minutes or until soft. Add cardamom and salt; cook and stir 30 seconds. Add lentils, tomatoes and water. Increase heat to medium-high; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until lentils are soft and liquid is absorbed.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the garam masala. Add salmon; toss to coat.
• Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets in skillet, skin side down. Cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• To serve, divide dal evenly among 8 serving plates. Top with salmon and raita.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the tamarind paste with the lime, sugar, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Add enough water - you won't need much - to make sufficient marinade to coat the four pieces of fish. Turn the salmon over in the marinade, making sure it gets well coated, cover and put in the fridge for 1 hr (or 30 mins is fine if you're in a rush).
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chillies. Fry over a medium heat for 30-40 secs, then add the salmon fillets. Brown the fillets on each side (including the skin), then transfer them to a roasting tin. Spoon some of the chilli oil from the pan over them. Bake in the oven for 12 mins, or until the fish is cooked right through to the centre (check with the tip of a knife). Serve with rice, lime wedges and an Indian chutney.
