Ingredients for baked salmon with spices:
1. The first step to prepare this Indian recipe will be to chop the salmon. Cut the fish pieces into more or less large cubes, trying to eliminate all the thorns it may have. This type of cut is what is called Tikka in India.
2. Now it is the turn of the marinate. To do this, mix the yogurt with the spices, add everything but black salt, since we will use it at the end. You can use Greek yogurt if you wish and if you prefer that the dish has no spicy replace the spicy paprika with normal paprika.
3. Mix everything very well, so that the ingredients are distributed uniformly. The result must be a dark pink cream. Try and correct the seasoning if necessary, avoid adding a lot of salt.
4. Take the salmon pieces to a plastic container with yogurt sauce, mix everything conscientiously trying that the salmon is completely covered with the sauce. As we are doing marinated salmon, the ideal is to let the fish take flavor leaving it at rest overnight, but if you don have time leave it at least an hour.
5. The next day, when the salmon has absorbed all the flavors of the spices and the yogurt, we will cook the fish. To do this, place the salmon cubes bathed in tandoori sauce on a tray lined with baking paper. Place the fish pieces with the skin down.
6. Finally, preheat the oven to 180º and cook the Tandoori salmon for about 15 minutes until you see that the pieces begin to brown. Let stand for a few minutes and sprinkle a pinch of black salt.
7. This Indian delight is used with roasted eggplants also typical of the region and enjoys an original and different dish: the baked salmon Hindu style.
