easy salmon dinner

This Spicy Indian Pan-fried Salmon is quick and easy to make, spicy, and ridiculously tasty! It’s loaded with flavor, and great for weeknight dinners and meal prep!

Spicy Indian Pan-fried Salmon

Salmon Fillets, boneless, skin-on (about 120

Salt

3/4-1 TSP freshly cracked Black Pepper,

TSP ground Cumin

TSP Coriander powder

Turmeric powder

– 1.5 TSP ground Cayenne, to taste

– 1 TSP Chili powder,

TSP Tandoori Color powder (you can use a drop of red food coloring instead,

TBLS Lemon Juice

TBLS Water

TBLS Olive Oil (or any

Clean the salmon fillets

Remove them from the packaging they came in and gently wipe with paper towels to dry them.

Combine the salt, freshly cracked black pepper, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, ground cumin, coriander powder, turmeric powder, ground cayenne, chili powder, tandoori color powder, lemon juice, and water in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a spoon to evenly combine.

Add the salmon fillets to the marinade bowl and use a spoon to spread and evenly coat the spice mixture on all sides of the fillets. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and set aside. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes at least, or overnight in the fridge for more flavor.

Remove the salmon fillets bowl from the fridge 40-60 minutes in advance before cooking so that they can come to room temperature. (Note: Skip this step if marinating for less than an hour.)

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lift the salmon fillets from the marinade bowl and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes. Then turn over the fillets using a fish spatula and pan-fry the front for 3-4 minutes. (You will notice the marinade blackening on the skin side, but don’t worry. The “burnt” bits will infuse the salmon with a charred and grilled flavor and can be scraped off after cooking as needed.) Use tongs or the fish spatula to turn and crisp up the sides of the fillets – about 15-20 seconds for each side. Once the salmon fillets have cooked through, transfer the fillets to a clean plate and scrape off any burnt bits if needed. (Note: Use a sharp knife to check the doneness of the flesh, or a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature has reached 145°F/63°C*) Insert the knife or thermometer in the thickest part of the fillet. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily.)

To Serve

Place the fillets on a plate lined with red onion slices, cucumber slices, and lemon wedges for squeezing if desired. Garnish with chopped coriander and enjoy with steamed rice and a side salad!

Return salmon to the skillet and simmer for 3 minutes. Finish off with dill and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!

Made this today and it is sooooo good!! I carmelized the onions for longer than the recipe called for because I really wanted to get them soft and translucent and golden, and then I added in the carrots and garlic. I served it with baby gold potatoes tossed in butter and garlic and the leftover dill, along with a Caesar salad and it was a 10/10.

Very complimentary for salmon and trout. Great drizzled over vegetables as well. Many may not know however that a brown onion is the same as a yellow onion. Commonly, stores have yellow onion bins, but not brown onion bins. My point is most people are more inclined to try a new reciepe knowing the ingredients are easily accessible. No sense making it complicated. The reciepe is very good and 
worth a try.

Served this at a dinner party and the results were nothing short of FANTASTIC!  I may eat this sauce on shoe sole!

I love this recipe - it’s easy to prepare and super delicious! This is one I’ve added to my regular meals. I sometimes add red onion and Romano pepper to roast with the broccoli.

I’ve made this recipe several times over the last few years - it’s so good, I keep coming back to it. Thanks for this recipe!

I must have done something wrong. I used the right ingredients and followed the recipe as written. The process was great, cooked perfectly, but the sauce overpowered everything. Too much lemon, not enough sweetness, and I now realize “sweet” isn’t a flavor I like on salmon, broccoli OR potatoes. I will use the procedures again often!
