This is not exactly CKP style, but a recipe I tried out to avoid the hassle of frying (I know -- that's how I like my fish too: fried! But baking is not bad for a change ;) ). It's very easy to make and uses less oil, but delicious nonetheless. Give it a try!
Serves: 3-4 persons (or 1-2 CKPs :P )
Ingredients
- ~1 lb fillet Salmon
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2-3 tsp. Tandoori masala (I used Rajah's, but Everest, etc. should be fine.)
- 2-3 medium Green chillis (chopped)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- ~1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp Jeera powder
- Coriander leaves (for garnishing)
Procedure
- Slit the salmon fillet so as to make approximately 1 in. x 1 in. cubes. (This is basically for better marination.)
- In a small bowl, take 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the tandoori masaala, chopped green chillis, coriander-jeera powder, salt and lemon juice (The measurements given are very approximate and can be varied to suit your taste). You can also add some basil and oregano if you like those flavours. Mix it well.
- Apply the masala paste to the salmon fillet well and let it marinate (in the refrigerator) for atleast 3-4 hours (overnight if possible)
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degree fahrenheit (BBQ instead of baking in oven is an alternative)
- Bake the salmon till the meat is well done (usually about 20-30 minutes)
- Garnish with coriander leaves and a hint of lime(and serve with lettuce, tomatoes, etc. etc.)
Enjoy!
Variations
- Try roasting it on a tavaa with a bit of olive oil after baking it
- Sprinkle it with basil and oregano while roasting for better taste.
