Instructions
Creating Tandoori Spiced Salmon is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori spice mix, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven or Grill: If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C). For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Prepare the Cooking Surface: If using the oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. For grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5. Cook the Salmon:
– Oven Method: Place the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
– Grill Method: Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once cooked, drizzle the salmon with olive oil for extra flavor.
7. Garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven or grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges.
These straightforward steps will guide you in preparing Tandoori Spiced Salmon effortlessly, ensuring a flavorful and satisfying meal.
