Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

300 grams salmon
1/2 ActiFry spoon tandoori spice powder
3 cups plain yoghurt, divided, or to taste
30 leaves fresh mint, chopped
1 teaspoon minced green chilli, or to taste
1/2 ActiFry spoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
1 small tomato
½ red onion
½ cucumber

Steps:

Trim the salmon into 12 cubes and coat with tandoori spice powder. Chill and leave to marinate.
Blend 1/4 of the yoghurt with the mint, chilli, cumin, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate and leave to steep.
Peel the tomato. Remove the seeds and cut into small dice. Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel the cucumber. Cut lengthwise to remove the seeds easily using a small spoon, then dice.
Right before serving, cook the salmon in the ActiFry for 5 to 6 minutes, adding seasoning but no fat. During this time, mix the flavoured yoghurt with the remaining yoghurt, diced tomato, cucumber, and onion.
Pour the sauce into small glasses or soup plates and top with the salmon. The salmon will be half-cooked after 5 to 6 minutes. If you prefer it more cooked, continue for another 4 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh salmon fillets. You can also use frozen salmon, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
If you don't have tandoori masala on hand, you can make your own by combining cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili powder.
If you want your salmon to have a more intense flavor, marinate it in the yogurt and spice mixture for longer. You can marinate it for up to 24 hours, but even 30 minutes will make a difference.
To ensure that your salmon cooks evenly, try to use salmon fillets that are of similar thickness. If you have fillets of different thicknesses, cook the thicker ones for a few minutes longer.
If you don't have a tandoor oven, you can cook your salmon in a regular oven or on a grill. Just be sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't dry out.
Serve your salmon tandoori with rice, naan, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Salmon tandoori is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is full of flavor and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, baking, or pan-frying your salmon, you are sure to enjoy this tasty dish.
