Hariyali Salmon (paleo-ish, healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, high protein, low-carb option)

A fragrant and aromatic Hariyali Salmon flavored with green herbs and Indian spices. So versatile, you can use this marinade for chicken and tofu as well.

It’s no surprise that I love fish. I incorporate fish into my diet on a weekly basis.

On one particular day when my creative juices were flowing, I figured I’d make Hariyali Salmon which is prepared with green herbs and spices.

The end result was fabulous! Even my picky eater husband who can’t seem to handle Indian spices loved this dish.

You’ll be seeing me make Hariyali Salmon often on Instastories now so follow me on Instagram.

This recipe would work well with halibut, cod, mahi mahi… basically any fish that can hold up to Indian spices. It would even work well with chicken and tofu.

Pair this dish up with brown rice, bulgar, or quinoa for a healthy grain and some veggies on the side. Just. So Good.

salmon hariyali is:

Fragrant
Delicious
Healthy
Loaded with Omega-3s
Good for you
Gluten-Free
Dairy-Free
Healthy
High Protein
Paleo-ish (skip the tamari/soy sauce)
Low-Carb (skip the rice/quinoa)


 

How to make Salmon Hariyali step by step?

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place all the ingredients except the salmon into a coffee grinder (I love Krups). A coffee grinder works better than a food processor.
  3. Blend and it’s a beautiful green paste.
  4. You’ll need 4 pieces of salmon.
  5. Evenly distribute spoonfuls of the marinade over the salmon, spread on top and make sure you get the sides as well.
  6. Into the oven for 19 minutes exactly. Don’t overcook the salmon!
  7. Perfect and crispy. Serve with your favorite healthy grain and veggie of choice.

  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 3 green cardamom pods
  • 2 cloves
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 1 inch piece cinnamon stick
  • 2 green chilies
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • a large handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • skip the salt*** tamari and salmon have enough salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place all the ingredients except the salmon into a coffee grinder. A coffee grinder works better than a food processor.
  • Blend and it's a beautiful green paste.
  • You'll need 4 pieces of salmon.
  • Evenly distribute spoonfuls of the marinade over the salmon, spread on top and make sure you get the sides as well.
  • Into the oven for 19 minutes exactly. Don't overcook the salmon!
  • Perfect and crispy. Serve with your favorite healthy grain and veggie of choice.

Notes

* Start with 1 tbsp of olive oil, add 1 more tbsp if need be.
** To ensure this dish is gluten-free, you need to use gluten-free tamari or soy sauce.
** For a paleo option, omit tamari/soy sauce, instead add salt to taste.
*** There is no salt in this recipe as tamari and fish already have enough salt. If you need additional salt, add a pinch.
**** For a low-carb option, make <a href="https://www.honeywhatscooking.com/2017/04/cauliflower-fried-rice.html/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://www.honeywhatscooking.com/2017/04/cauliflower-fried-rice.html/">cauliflower fried rice</a> instead of brown rice/quinoa.

My Aunty (helper) left 😞! Due to certain circum My Aunty (helper) left 😞! Due to certain circumstances, the past 10 weeks we hired temporary help and it was the best investment for us. It was a blessing that someone was even willing to help us during Covid. During this time, I was able to fully heal from a C-section and learned so much from Aunty on how to properly care for a baby. I’m grateful for the home-cooked Indian food she made for us, but no more roti subzi dal 😂. Most of all, I’m grateful for the way she took care of my little kishmish ❤️. Today is the first day I’m on my own and woke up at 5 am. Let’s see if I get on stories later today 😂. Thankfully Krish has been sleeping through the night (most nights). I’m still trying to adjust his schedule slightly so it’s inline with mine. The biggest adjustment for me will be sleeping early because I’m such a night owl 🦉. I’m one of those people who needs 7-8 hours of sleep to function else it really affects my day. Now you know why I desperately wanted that @nespresso machine 😆. This is a new phase in my life and I wanna cherish every moment with Krish. I’m excited to get on a schedule with him and take on this new role. I’m forced to be a morning person which is okay. It’ll be nice to see how much I’m able to accomplish during the day between feedings, playtime, slobbery kisses 😘, cooking quick meals, blogging, and squeezing in time to workout and shower. I know some days will be harder than others and I’ve accepted that I may not accomplish anything some days. I have to learn Time Management from you moms so any tips on that would be really helpful. I got this, but still, wish me luck! ❤️ #krishandnish #newmom #motherhood #justthetwoofus #mybaby #momlife #babyhoneywhatscooking #10weeksold #timemanagement #loveofmylife #desiinfluencer #desigirl
