Salmon baked in Indian Spices | Kukskitchen

Salmon is a great fish for its taste its essential oils and its low fat protein content. It is perfect if you want a low carb high protein dinner. The crispy skin, the juicy flesh and the spicy coat on top makes this dish a winner!!



A few things before we start:

• If you like the marinade right down inside the fish, marinate for an hour or so. I like to taste the pure fish oils and hence I do not marinate for more than 10 minutes.
• Get your fish monger to fillet your fish for you getting rid of all the fish bones. Keep the skin. 
• Salmon is best baked with skin as all its good oils rest just underneath the skin. That said if you want to lose that oil for health reasons, skin your fillets.
• Fresh salmon makes the best bake; however, frozen fish can be used as well. Increase the baking time by an extra 10 minutes if you do. 
• If you like you fish charred, bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
• Alter the heat to suit your palate by adding more chilli powder or omitting it completely.
