Method

  1. Prepare the tandoori marinade by whisking together the plain yogurt, tomato puree, lemon juice, olive oil, chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, a tablespoon of minced garlic, and a tablespoon of garlic‑ginger paste until smooth.

  2. Marinate the skinless salmon fillets in the tandoori sauce for at least 15 minutes; keep any extra sauce in the refrigerator.

  3. Par‑cook the potatoes in the microwave, then spread the chopped potatoes on a baking tray.

  4. Scatter the chopped red onion over the potatoes and place the marinated salmon fillets on top.

  5. Spoon generous amounts of the remaining tandoori marinade over each fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.

  6. Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 400°F (392°F) for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and lightly charred.

  7. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and serve with a fresh salad.
