Fast Roast Tandoori Salmon

Fast Roast Tandoori Salmon

Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 500 g cauliflower rice defrosted
  • 2 small salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon tandoori spice OR 2 teaspoons each curry powder and smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 bunch mint or coriander, optional
  • 25 g roast cashews or other nuts
  • 150 g Greek yoghurt

Instructions

  1. Crank your oven to the highest setting.
  2. Line your largest rimmed baking tray with paper. Spread cauliflower over the surface of the tray.
  3. Cut salmon into halves or thirds. Place on the tray, moving the cauliflower out of the way so the salmon is touching the tray - this will help the heat conduct and the salmon will cook quicker.
  4. In a small bowl mix your spice, oil and salt. Drizzle the spiced oil over the salmon fillets.
  5. Pop the tray in the oven (don't wait for it to come up to temperature). Set your timer for 12 minutes.
  6. While the salmon is cooking, pick the leaves from the stems of your herbs (if using) or just chop them. Roughly chop the cashews.
  7. When the timer goes, check the salmon - if it's cooked to your liking, you're ready to serve. If not return for another few minutes.
  8. To serve scatter the herbs (if using) and cashews over the salmon and rice. Dollop on the yoghurt. Let everyone dig in from the tray.
