Curried Salmon

Curried Salmon

Another fab recipe from the same lady who did the Spicy Roasted Chicken.  I wasn't too sure about currying salmon to begin with, but it was really good.
The amounts below would serve about 6 people, maybe more.
Heat the oil and fry the lovage seeds (if you have them) until almost black. Add the cumin and fry for 5 seconds. Add the remaining 4 cloves of chopped garlic until slightly golden. Add the fish and cook on medium heat moving the fish around by moving the pan until oil begins to separate from spices. Add the hot water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 mins. Add the chopped coriander, remove from heat and serve.



1kg Salmon Steaks/Salmon Fillet, cut into big chunks.

Spice Mix

2 ½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Ground peppercorns and coriander seeds
1 tsp Paprika
½ tsp Garam Masala
2 tsp Cumin seeds
2 tsp Lovage seeds 
½ tsp flaked red chillies 
2 tsp Turmeric
5 cloves Garlic, chopped finely
1 ½ in. Ginger, finely chopped
Small tin of chopped tomatoes
2 fresh tomatoes
1 or 2 green chili – deseeded and chopped 

Tarka Mix

4 cloves Garlic, chopped finely
1 tsp lovage seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
3 Tbs vegetable oil
1 cup of freshly boiled water

Cut salmon into large chunks, place in a bowl. Add all the spice mix to the fish as well as 5 cloves of garlic and ginger. Gently toss the fish to cover with spices, then add the 4 cloves of chopped garlic, ginger, tomatoes, sliced tomatoes and chilies. Again toss gently to mix all the ingredients together. Leave aside for 10 mins.
