Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 tablespoon curry paste
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 mango
- 2 green onions
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Combine garlic, ginger, lemon juice, garam masala, curry paste, and yogurt in a small bowl to create the marinade. Spread this marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Refrigerate the marinated salmon for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. |
| 2 | Meanwhile, prepare the Mango Mint Relish by dicing the mango into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop the green onions and mint leaves. In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped green onions, ginger, lime juice, mint leaves, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate the relish until needed. This relish can be prepared up to 12 hours ahead of time, allowing the flavors to intensify. |
| 3 | After marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with oil to prevent sticking. |
| 4 | Place the salmon fillets on the grill, flesh side down, and grill for approximately 2 minutes. |
| 5 | Carefully turn the salmon fillets over and close the lid of the grill. Continue grilling for an additional 5 minutes, or until white juices start to appear on the surface of the salmon, indicating they are cooked through. |
| 6 | Once cooked, remove the salmon fillets from the grill and serve hot with the refreshing Mango Mint Relish on the side. |
