Prepare the Salmon
Lightly season the salmon with your desired spices, ensuring the fish is well-coated on all sides. If you want to keep it simple, you can use a ready-made masala or tailor it with a blend of cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder for a medium heat. You may also add a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of flavor. -
Bake the Salmon
Place the seasoned salmon on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky when tested with a fork. The medium heat should give the salmon a wonderful color and the perfect balance of tenderness and flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately. Pair it with a fresh salad, some steamed rice, or your favorite side dishes. Garnish with fresh coriander or a sprinkle of lemon zest for a vibrant finishing touch.
