My friend Jackie makes the most delicious BBQ fish on skewers with a yummy "Tandoori" flavour marinade. So, I decided to mimic this on a whole piece of salmon filet. I would actually use this delicious and light marinade with any type of firm fish, or poultry, and for BBQ or baking.
It is that good!!
Mash 1 clove of garlic and 2 tbsp of ginger to a paste.
Scrape the paste into a medium bowl and add:
1 tbsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground fenugreek ( this is a MUST ingredient)
1 tsp. turmeric
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. garam masala
Salt and pepper
To this spice mixture, add 1.5 c. yogurt and 2 tbsp. of canola or olive oil and whisk until smooth. Will smell heavenly.
In a large zip lock, coat the fish or meat with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
Once cooked, the flavours are pronounced but light at the same time. Love the salmon especially. Serve with chopped fresh coriander and spritz of lemon or lime. Basmati rice scented with smashed cardamom pods, raisins and a bay leaf is the perfect accompaniment, and of course sweet peas!!

As a fantastic side, roast and caramelize cauliflower pieces for about 45 min, turning half way. Season with turmeric, ground fenugreek, cumin, salt and pepper. In the meantime,. sauté onions with fresh ginger, a bit of garlic if you like, raisins, garam masala, a few cherry tomatoes and more turmeric. Add the roasted cauliflower to this, and then add fresh spinach until wilted.
Serve with any Tandoori flavour. Fabulous!
Make Raita, Greek yogourt, shredded Cucumber, lots of fresh mint, a squeeze of lemon and salt. Wowwww!
