Haryali Salmon Tikka
This recipe is from the Haryani region of India, where dairy is commonly used. The salmon is marinated in a cilantro/basil/yogurt based marinade. It can be either grilled or roasted; left as a whole fillet or cut into large cubes and skewered on metal skewers. If you decide to make skewers, the fish will only take 5-6 minutes a side. You can serve the salmon with rice or with parathas, red onion salad, and Greek yogurt. Other fish you can use with this recipe include pomfret, king fish, catfish, or swordfish.
