Easy Salmon Fry

When we used to live in the west coast Salmon was one of our favorites. Pacific Salmon is definitely tastier than the Atlantic one :-) But still we can make a lot of dishes out of Salmon - no matter what variety you have access to. Moreover, Salmon is good for ya. So without further ado, here is one for today:

Ingredients:

Red chilli powder- 1 teaspoon
Salt- 1 teaspoon
Curry masala – 1 teaspoon or Cumin, Coriander powder- 1/2 teaspoon each
Ginger garlic paste- 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice- 1 teaspoon
Soy sauce- 1 teaspoon [optional]
Oil- 1 tablespoon
Salmon - 1 lb, cut it into 4 squares

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients and spread it on both sides of the fish.
2. Marinate at least for 30 minutes.
3. Pour oil in a shallow pan and roast the marinated Salmon pieces in medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side.

Note: You could use any fish available, by the way. If the fish has thick flesh, make small slits with a knife to allow the masala to go deep inside. When you pan-roast the Salmon, it will go from pink to pale pink - this is an indication that the Salmon is cooked. If you are calorie conscious, bake the fish in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes on each side.
