TANDOORI-CRUSTED SALMON WITH MANGO LIME SALSA

Serves 4

         FOR THE SALMON

         1 tablespoon ground turmeric

         6 teaspoons sweet paprika

         5 teaspoons garam masala

         1 teaspoon chilli powder (or to taste)

         3 teaspoons ground cumin

         1½ teaspoons salt

         3 teaspoons ground cardamom

         4 salmon fillets

         2 tablespoons olive oil

         FOR THE SALSA

         1 mango, diced

         3 tomatoes, diced

         ½ cup basil leaves, shredded

         finely grated rind and juice of 1 small lime

         ½ teaspoon sugar

         ¼ teaspoon salt

Mix together the turmeric, paprika, garam masala, chilli powder, cumin, salt and cardamom. Roll each salmon fillet in the mixture.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for approximately 3 minutes each side or until barely cooked through.

To make the salsa, mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the fish with the salsa and, if you like, a small dollop of plain yoghurt.
