GRILLED SALMON WITH CURRY SAUCE
With good fresh salmon, less is always more. But sometimes I like to kick it up a notch with some Indian spices. This curry sauce can be made ahead and reheated while your salmon (or whatever type of fish you have) grillls. You can serve with steamed rice, but to be more carb friendly, sometimes I serve with cauliflower puree. In reviewing the nutritional content listed here, I don't agree with the carbohydrate content that has been calculated. The can of coconut milk has 2 grams of carbs per serving listed. So am stymied with how this system came up with over 50 grams per serving. Now if you include a few glasses of rose wine with this, maybe your carb content will be higher, but still not over 50 grams.

Steps:
- Cover dried chilies with some boiling water and allow to stand until softened, usually about 15 minutes. Handling carefully, so the chilies do not burn your hands, mince with scissors. If you are using fresh chilies, simply slice into rings.
- Dissolve tamarind paste in about a cup of water.
- Heat butter in a large skillet, then add onions. Let them caramelize slightly, then stir in 1 teaspoon each of turmeric and cumin powder. After a few minutes add dissolved tamarind paste, minced chilies, ginger, coconut milk and salt to taste. Since this will be rather thick, add some water. Then simmer to allow all these spices and flavors to marry. To add a little brightness, add the juice of an orange. Lime or lemon might be better. The sauce can be made ahead and reheated before grilling your fish. **The heat of this sauce is tempered by the flavor of the salmon. It can also be tempered with some raita or chutney on the side, or even just plain yogurt. OR instead of using 2 chilies, just use one.**.
- Sprinkle salmon with salt, a teaspoon of turmeric and a light dusting of cumin powder.
- Grill salmon over a hot fire, being careful not to overcook. Fresh salmon is far better when slightly rare, JMHO. I start with grilling the fleshy side down first. After 3-4 minutes, turn carefully so that skin side is down and grill another 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet. As you remove from the grill, the skin, which I don't find appetizing, will stick to the grill, easily skinning your fresh grilled fillet.
- Serve with the curry sauce and garnish with cilantro. Wash down with a chilled rose wine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the tamarind paste with the lime, sugar, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Add enough water - you won't need much - to make sufficient marinade to coat the four pieces of fish. Turn the salmon over in the marinade, making sure it gets well coated, cover and put in the fridge for 1 hr (or 30 mins is fine if you're in a rush).
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the chillies. Fry over a medium heat for 30-40 secs, then add the salmon fillets. Brown the fillets on each side (including the skin), then transfer them to a roasting tin. Spoon some of the chilli oil from the pan over them. Bake in the oven for 12 mins, or until the fish is cooked right through to the centre (check with the tip of a knife). Serve with rice, lime wedges and an Indian chutney.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon that has a firm texture and a deep orange-red color.
- Make sure the salmon is properly thawed. If the salmon is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
- Season the salmon well. A simple mixture of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need to bring out the flavor of the salmon.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. The best way to do this is to grill it over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is just cooked through.
- Serve the salmon with a flavorful sauce or relish. A simple raita, made with yogurt, cucumber, and mint, is a great way to add some extra flavor and moisture to the salmon.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon with Indian spices and raita is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the raita adds a refreshing and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
