Salmon fillets are coated in a spiced yogurt marinade, pan-fried until cooked through, and served with lemons cooked alongside them. Cooking the lemons gives their juice a warmer, sweeter, more luxurious flavor.

Ingredients

8 salmon fillets (About 1 side of salmon; fillets)
1 tbsp garlic-ginger paste (The post says “garlic cigar paste”; the transcript says garlic ginger paste.)
2 tbsp plain yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp hot chili sauce (The transcript says this helps bind the marinade and adds color.)
0.5 tsp chili powder
0.5 tsp garam masala
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp ground coriander
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp salt
turmeric (A pinch, for color)
2 lemons (Halved; cooked alongside the salmon)

Steps

1
Make the marinade by mixing the garlic-ginger paste, plain yogurt, chili powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, black pepper, salt, turmeric, lemon juice, and hot chili sauce until combined.
2
Coat the salmon fillets thoroughly with the yogurt marinade. The salmon may be cooked straight away, but for the best flavor, cover and marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3
Heat a pan over medium heat and place the marinated salmon in it. Add the halved lemons to the pan alongside the salmon, cut-side down.
4
Pan-fry the salmon for 12 minutes over medium heat. Keep the lid on while it cooks so the salmon cooks all the way through without drying out.
5
Serve the salmon with the cooked lemons. Squeeze the warm lemon over the fish; cooking the lemon changes its flavor from bright and zesty to warmer, sweeter, and more rounded.

Notes

The transcript describes this as suitable for meal preparation and says extra portions can be packed for lunch. The source does not specify the salmon fillet weight, exact pan type, or a doneness temperature.
