Ingredients

Indian Spiced Salmon

~1 pound salmon filets, with skin
2 teaspoons garam masala

Raita Inspired Sauce

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ Tablespoon finely diced red onion
⅛ teaspoon cumin
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick spray, or a light brush of oil.
Place salmon skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub spice blend onto the top and sides of the filets.
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cilantro, onion, and cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spread sauce over salmon (you might have extra depending on amount of salmon). Bake ~10 minutes per inch of thickness or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork or internal temperature reaches 145ºF. Enjoy!

Notes

Let the spices sit on the salmon for ~15 minutes before cooking for increased flavor development. If your spice blend contains salt, there is no need to sprinkle additional salt on the salmon.

Garnish with extra cilantro and/or serve with lemon or lime wedges for an extra pop of flavor.
