For a spicy salmon with a flavorful twist, try it with a blend of Indian spices. Grill or bake for a quick dish. If desired, marinate the salmon overnight in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

vegetable oil cooking spray
1 pound salmon (without skin; add ⅓ pound if skin)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon tumeric
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
½ teaspoon garam masala (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Garam Masala

¼ cup cumin seeds
3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
3 tablespoons whole cardamom pods
1 teaspoon cloves
2 teaspoons dry ginger powder
2 cinnamon sticks

Directions

For Salmon

Coat a baking dish with the cooking spray. Arrange salmon in the baking dish.
Combine the garlic, ginger, and spices, and rub into the salmon.
Prick the salmon with a fork a few times. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Bake the salmon, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. Or grill the salmon, wrapped in foil with a tent for venting, for 10 to 15 minutes. The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork.
Sprinkle with the lime juice before serving.
