Ingredients
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp mild chilli powder
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 unit lime
- 3 clove garlic
- a small piece ginger
- 2 tbsp oil
- a pinch salt
- 2 fillet salmon fillets
Instructions
- 1Gather all spices, zest, garlic, ginger, lime juice, oil, and salt.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the turmeric, mild chilli powder, chilli flakes, lime zest, grated garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt.
- 3Add the freshly squeezed juice of one lime and the 2 tbsp of oil to the dry mixture; stir until a smooth, paste‑like consistency forms.
- 4Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the spice paste adheres well.
- 5Using your hands or a spoon, rub the spice paste evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to coat.
- 6Place a large skillet (preferably non‑stick or cast iron) over medium‑high heat and add a thin drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- 7When the oil shimmers, carefully lay the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down if skin is present, and let them sear without moving for about 4 minutes.
- 8Flip the fillets and continue cooking for another 4‑5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (145°F) and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
- 9Remove the salmon from the pan and transfer to a plate; let it rest for 2 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- 10Optionally, sprinkle a little extra chilli flakes or a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top for added brightness before serving.
