Citrus Glazed Tandoori Salmon Recipe

This one is an improvisation over the citrus glazed broiled salmon that you usually find in restaurants. While keeping the natural saltiness of the fish along with the sweet citrusy taste, this one flawlessly blends in an Indian flavor to the fish by adding the tandoori masala. The thyme and rosemary kick in a subtle taste and aroma.

While cooking salmon, you have to be very careful, making sure that you do not overcook the fish. It should be light and flaky, not dry. The salmon goes well with asparagus, or steamed broccoli or french beans.

The Boy Who Cooks

A Software Engineer by profession, I started cooking very recently and now just can't get enough of it. I don't adhere to one specific diet...I am more of a cook on the whim kind of a person. No one is born a great cook...One learns by doing. In the words of Julia Child, 'The only real stumbling block is the fear of failure. In cooking, you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude'.
