Quick Baked Salmon

1 large salmon fillet - 700 gms or so
pepper- freshly ground as needed
salt- as needed
lime juice - 1 tbs
curd - 2 tbs
turmeric powder - 1/8 tsp
cumin powder - 1/8 - 1/4 tsp
chillie powder - 1/2 - 1 tsp
dill leaves - freshly chopped as needed (optional)
olive oil - as needed (optional)

Method:

Mix all the above ingredients and apply on the clean fillet. Keep it aside, if possible for 15 - 20 mts. Bake in a pre heated 350 degrees oven, till done.

I line a tray with foil, folding the edges, place the fillet in it and bake. It prevents the juices from flowing and half way through baking, I flip the fillet and baste it with the juices or olive oil. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. I cook mine a little extra - 30 mts in the oven, flip it after 15-20 mts. If the oven is drying up the juices, I just turn the oven off and let the fish cook. It all depends on your oven, so stay close to your fish :)

Served mine with rice, and a salad made with lots of thinly sliced red onions or shallots, hot green thai chillies, vinegar/ lime juice, oil and salt, hand mixed to get all the juices mingle and marry !!!

Finger licking results guarenteed !!!! Bet you can't top that hey.....
