Ingredients

  • Salmon: 1 large fillet, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • Oil: A light drizzle
  • Salt: To taste
  • Tandoori Powder: For that classic vibrant color and depth
  • Turmeric Powder: For an earthy, golden hue
  • Coriander & Cumin Powder: Essential aromatic base notes
  • Naram Masala: The star ingredient for a rich, mild, and flavorful profile
  • Yogurt: 1–2 spoonfuls to keep the salmon succulent and tender
  • Lemon Juice: A splash for a bright, zesty lift
  • Fresh Coriander: A handful of finely chopped herbs for freshness

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Whip Up the Vibrant Marinade

  • Start by adding a drizzle of oil and salt into a glass baking or marinating dish.
  • Layer in your dry spices: tandoori powder, turmeric powder, and coriander & cumin powder.
  • Introduce the hero blend “Naram Masala” alongside a dollop of yogurt and a splash of fresh lemon juice.
  • Finish with freshly chopped coriander and stir everything together until it forms a smooth, vibrant, and fragrant paste.

2. Coat and Rest

  • Carefully add your salmon chunks into the marinade.
  • Turn the pieces gently to ensure every single chunk is thoroughly coated.
  • Pro Tip: Don't rush this step! Let the salmon sit in the marinade for a little while to allow the rich spices to penetrate and build deep flavor.

3. Bake to Perfection

  • Transfer your marinated salmon into the oven.
  • Bake gently until the fish is cooked through, tender, and beautifully caramelized on the edges.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  • Plate up your warm, baked salmon alongside a bed of fluffy white rice and fresh vegetables for a complete, balanced family meal.
