Servings: 2
Calories: 375kcal
Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon boneless and skinless
- salt to taste
- 3-4 teaspoons Tandori spice blend see note
Raita
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt unsweetened, or coconut yogurt if dairy-free
- 1/2 English cucumber grated, about 1/2 cup
- 4 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon mint minced
- 1 green onion chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250ĀŗF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and grease with the avocado oil.
- Season the salmon with salt, to taste. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the salmon. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 250ĀŗF for 20-35 minutes, or until the fish is just beginning to flake, or registers 120ĀŗF inside. It will have a more raw appearance but be cooked at this point.
- While the salmon bakes, prepare the raita. Stir all together all raita ingredients and season with more salt to taste. Chill until salmon is done.
- Place the salmon onto serving plates and top with Raita. Garnish with a few fresh herbs, if desired.
