Succulent chunks of salmon, marinated with garlic, ginger and spices, char grilled to produce a mouth watering dish.
Ingredients
500gms salmon chunks
1tbsp garlic crushed
1tbsp ginger crushed
1tbsp fresh red chillies chopped
1/2 large fresh lemon, freshly squeezed
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp kashmiri chilli powder
1tsp salt, to taste
1/2tsp ground black pepper, to taste
2tbsp sunflower oil
Preparation
Add the garlic, ginger and fresh red chillies into a small food processor and blend well until all pieces have broken down. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sunflower oil, blend until you have a paste.
Sprinkle in the dried ground spices, including the salt and pepper and blend well once again, to form a marinade.
Place the salmon chunks in a medium bowl and pour in the marinade. Either using your hands or a spoon, mix the marinade in well, making sure that all pieces are coated well. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes, in the fridge.
Cooking
Pre-heat a grill to 200 degrees/ gas mark 6.
Place the marinated salmon chunks, in a non-stick oven tray and place under the grill, not to close to the heat. (If you do not have a non-stick tray, use a tray with kitchen foil).
Cook either side for 15 minutes, until slightly charred, as in the picture.
Remove and serve hot with a salad of your choice and lemon wedges.
Try the same marinade with other white fish, such as: Cod, Haddock, Monk or Tilapia.
