Tandoori Salmon

Preparation

Combine the turmeric and olive oil together in a container and whisk together thoroughly. Add to mixture the yogurt along with the ginger and garlic paste and mix. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice together with the grinded green chilli and combine with yogurt mixture. Lastly add the remaining ingredients of fresh dill, chilli powder, red chilli flakes, caraway seeds, gram flour and garam masala to the marinade and mix until ingredients are evenly spread around container before adding the salmon chunks. Using your hands rub the marinade onto the fish gently ensuring the marinade soaks the fish chunks.

Keep fillets marinated for at least an hour (or preferably overnight for a more intense flavour). Slide the marinated salmon chunks onto a skewer and place into the Tandoor for about 5-6 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot and enjoy your healthy option.

For those who do not have a tandoor oven, simply put the marinated salmon chunks onto a baking tray and oven cook on gas mark 180c for 12-15 minutes.
