Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh salmon
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil start with 1 tbsp, add more if need be
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free tamari
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 inch piece ginger
  • 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
  • handful of fresh cilantro

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, and spread it on top making sure the marinade is not too thick on top. We want the marinade to brown on top. Also, make sure you get the sides as well.
  • Into the oven for 19-21 minutes - this depends on how much marinade you have on top. The marinade should brown slightly, but don't overcook the salmon!
  • Perfect and crispy. Serve with your favorite healthy grain and veggie of choice.
