Traditional Indian cooks often turn to spiced yogurt marinades when using a clay oven called a tandoor. Wrap the succulent grilled salmon here in naan with cucumber salad and cilantro sprigs for a delicious, healthy sandwich.
How to Make It
Using the side of a chef’s knife, mash the garlic and ginger to a paste. Scrape the paste into a medium bowl and add the coriander, cumin, paprika, fenugreek, turmeric, cayenne, cloves and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the yogurt and the 1/4 cup of oil and whisk until smooth. In a glass baking dish, coat the salmon with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
Light a grill. Oil the grill grates and oil a fish basket. Scrape off the excess marinade and lightly brush the fish with oil. Grill over moderate heat, turning once or twice, until golden in spots and nearly cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a platter and serve with grilled naan, cilantro sprigs and cucumber salad.
