- 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

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
