Best way to enjoy Salmon
I have been cooking salmon once a week for my family for many years. One day I decided to change up my usual salmon marinate and make it tandoori style knowing how much my boys love the tandoori chicken. It was an instant hit and has been on repeat since for our weeknight meals as well as family gathering. Cut it up into smaller cubes or cook it on skewers for a fun party appetizer.
Tips for Best Tandoori Salmon
Pat dry the salmon before marinating to avoid excess liquids Salmon can be skinless or with skin on Use fresh garam masala. Homemade garam masala works the best Marinate the salmon for at least 20 minutes

Tips for buying Salmon
The best salmon to use is wild Pacific salmon if you can find it. The best place to buy salmon is at a fish market. I also like the wild salmon fillet from Costco. You can also buy frozen salmon, but try to buy wild-caught. If using frozen salmon, make sure to defrost it overnight in the refrigerator before marinating.
Wash, pat dry salmon with a paper towel, and cut into 3 or 6 pieces.
If you are going to serve rice, make this Instant Pot cumin rice. It has a nutty aroma from the cumin seeds with the mellow spice of cloves and cardamom. All of the complex flavors of the meal are enhanced and come together perfectly when you serve a fresh cup of chilled pomegranate juice. For a lighter meal or as an appetizer serve it hot on a bed of green cabbage, peppers, and red onions with lime wedges. I also like to serve salmon with lemon cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.
