Masala Spiced Salmon

This simple recipe is inspired by my Husbands South Indian fish fry, I simply marinated the salmon in masala powder than pan fried it, removed some of the oil and finished it off by poaching it. The kids and even my hubby approved.

Ingredients:

• a few salmon fillets
• about 1-2 tablespoons of masala powder mixed with oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 small tomatoes sliced 
• a little fresh basil

Method:

1. coat the salmon with the masala powder and oil with salt and pepper and let it sit for an hour.
2. add a little olive oil to a hot pan and sear the salmon on each side for about 5 min, then remove excess oil, add tomatoes and a lid and poach for another 5-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. I keep an eye on it and use a fork in the center of the fillet and know its ready when its flaky and I try it, always be careful not to over cook fish as it can get a little tough. 
3. serve with rice and dal, or salad, cous cous, the possibilities are endless.

Happy Spring everyone.
