Ingredients

  

• 1 lemon juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 -2 green chillis or to heat preference
• 3 tbsp coriander chopped
• 2 tsp honey
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 50g fresh ginger
• 100 ml Greek yogurt or any probiotic
• yoghurt
• 5-6 salmon fillets
• Some lemon wedges to serve

Instructions

 

• Blend in a small food processor the lemon juice, paprika, green chilli, coriander, honey, garam masala, garlic and ginger.
• Turn into a bowl and stir in the yogurt.
• Lightly coat the top of each salmon fillet with 1tbsp of the yogurt mixture. Set aside for 30-40 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to high setting. Transfer the salmon fillets to a tray lined with foil. Alternatively grilled pan can be used.
• Grill for 5-6 minutes each side. They should be cooked through but still a little pink in the centre.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

• I prefer my salmon slightly well done with more crispy crust, cooked 7-8 minutes each side.
• I served with roasted tender broccoli, mint yoghurt & garlicky tomato onion dips.
• On other occasions; red onion raita and garlicky wilted spinach have worked well for my taste- buds.
