Baked Tandoori Salmon
Description
A vibrant, spice-infused meal that balances the warmth of Tandoori aromatics with the crisp freshness of a garden salad. This is a complete, healthy dinner that feels like a celebration but assembles in minutes.

Salad/Side:
Instructions
-
Preheat oven. See notes.
-
Place the salmon in a baking dish, lined with greaseproof paper.
-
Sprinkle the chilli powder, tandoori spice powder and salt over the top. Add 1 Tbsp of the lemon juice and rub everything over the fillet gently.
-
Gently press the chopped shallots and garlic, over the top.
-
Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Sprinkle and toss with salt and tandoori spice mix. Place all around the fillet of salmon in the baking dish.
-
Drizzle the olive oil over the Salmon and the potatoes. Add the chopped coriander over the top.
-
Place in the lower rack of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes ( according to desired doneness-see notes)
-
Meanwhile, add the corn to a saucepan of boiling water with a dash of sugar and a spritz of lemon. Cook till the corn turns bright yellow. 6 minutes should do.
-
Rinse and salad leaves. Spin the leaves dry, using a salad spinner, and add to a large bowl.
-
Add chopped cucumber, carrot, cherry tomato, black olives and shallots. Toss.
-
Add a dash of olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup and chilli flakes. Toss.
-
When the salmon is done, I like to move it under the broiler and bake it for 5 additional minutes to get a brown top. This is just a personal preference.
Note
- Cooking time of Salmon: Everyone has a preference when it comes to cooking Salmon. I prefer not to give the cooking time, as this varies depending on preference and also the size of your oven. As a guideline: If you have time, cook for 45 minutes at 93°C/200°F. Slow-baked salmon is remarkably tasty. However, if you really can't wait, go for 15 minutes at 200°C/392°F. My setting is 200°C for 30 minutes on the lowest rack and then 5 minutes under the broiler. I like to get the golden top. Many like their salmon still pink and translucent, but that is not for me.
- Other additions to the Salad: Chopped Avocado, Bell peppers, Walnuts (or other seeds, dry fruit)
- Tandoori Spice Mix: is a really handy spice mix to make all kinds of kebabs, bakes and more. It's not just for Tandoori Chicken. Store-bought spice mix is fine, but if you would like to make a batch of homemade spice, here's the recipe for Tandoori Spice Blend.
- Key Ingredients: Salmon fillet, Spices, Shallots, Garlic, Coriander leaves, Lemon, Salt. For the sides: Potato, Fresh Salad Ingredients and Corn on the Cob.
