Yield Makes 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup coarsely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup vegetable oil plus more
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon garam masala
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 2-pound center-cut piece of boneless salmon fillet, skin on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
3/4 cup finely chopped peeled, seeded cucumber
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Ingredient info: Garam masala, an Indian spice mixture, is available in the spice section of better supermarkets and at Indian markets.

Steps:

  • Prepare grill (medium-high heat). Purée ginger, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tablespoon garam masala, garlic, coriander, and cumin in a blender until coarse purée forms. Put salmon into a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Coat salmon with ginger pureée. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir yogurt, cucumber, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, and remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala in a medium bowl. Season raita to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Brush the grill rack with oil. Brush off marinade for easier grilling, or leave it on for a better crust. Grill salmon, turning once, until it just begins to flake in center, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer salmon to a platter. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with raita.

The salmon was a little dry, but the raita helped to balance it out.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of salmon. But I'm so glad I did! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the spices were amazing.

The Indian spices gave the salmon a unique and flavorful twist. I loved the combination of cumin, coriander, and turmeric.

The raita was the perfect accompaniment to the grilled salmon. It added a cooling and refreshing element that balanced the richness of the fish.
