Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon (4 fillets)
- 1.5 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄2–1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1⁄3 cup diced cucumber (seeds removed)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 Tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat your oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Mix together the sweet paprika, garam masala, coriander powder, cayenne, sea salt, pepper and oil together in a small bowl.
- Step 3: Place the salmon on the parchment paper then brush all sides of the salmon with the spice mixture.
- Step 4: Bake the salmon in the oven for 10-12 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.
- Step 5: While the salmon bakes, make the raita by mixing together the greek yogurt, diced cucumbers, cilantro and salt.

Notes
Adjust the cayenne pepper to ½ teaspoon for a mild bite or 1 teaspoon for more heat. To keep the salmon moist, cook to medium doneness; the flesh should be firm and flake easily under pressure.
