Salmon Tikka Masala

Salmon Tikka Masala is a healthy and delicious dish. Salmon cooks in a mixture of yogurt, onion gravy, tandoori masala, and other Indian spices. This is a similar dish to Chicken Tikka Masala. Usually, it serves with rice or naan. Here is my very healthy and easy recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb salmon
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups finely chopped onions
  • 1 cup plain thick yogurt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tbsp  ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 6 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp kasoori methi dry fenugreek leaves
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 2 tbsp tandoori masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • green chilis optional
  • cilantro
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • First in a glass bowl mix yogurt, 1 Tbsp oil, 1 Tbsp red chili powder, 1 Tbsp garam masala, 2 Tbsp tandoori masala, ginger garlic paste, and 1 Tbsp kasoori methi. Mix this mixture well. Cut salmon into big pieces. Now add salmon into yogurt mixture, and keep this aside for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, cook your salmon in an air fryer, in the pan or on the grill. Once it is ready, keep it aside.
  • Now heat 5 Tbsp oil in a pan and add finely chopped onions. Keep string till your onions become light golden brown. Now add tomato sauce, salt, 2 Tbsp red chili powder, a pinch of turmeric, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1Tbsp kasoori methi, cumin, black pepper powder, and tomato sauce. You can also add some chopped green chilis for extra heat. Now cover the pan and cook it for about 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes and once oil starts to separate from the gravy, add 2 cups whole milk, and let the gravy cook for about 5 more minutes. You can add more milk or some water if you like. Once your sauce is ready add your cooked salmon and some cilantro. Serve it hot with your favorite rice or naan.

Notes

  1. This is my version of a healthy salmon tikka masala. I am using very little oil. If you like you can add more oil or butter.
  2. Salmon cooks very fast, so careful with that.
  3. Once you add cooked salmon in the gravy then don’t let them cook more than a minute.
  4. Adjust your spices according to your spices level.
