Blackened Indian Salmon image

This is a dry-rubbed Salmon recipe with a nice bit of heat and curry-like flavor, without the need for a heavy sauce. Delicious and relatively healthy. The key to making it great is finding a THICK piece of Salmon. The spice rub is very intense, so you don't want the crust to cover too much surface area.

Time 50m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup frozen edamame or 1/3 cup canned chick-peas
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on your heat tolerance)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 lb salmon fillet
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Cook Edamame as per package instructions (not required for Chickpeas).
  • 2. Grind cooked Edamame or Chickpeas into Falafel-like texture and spread out on paper plate to dry out (if cooked).
  • 3. Mix together all spices.
  • 4. Combine spices with Edamame or Chickpeas. Should feel like breadcrumbs.
  • 5. Coat Salmon with mixture and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • 6. Coat pan with a thin layer of oil and put over medium-high heat until oil is very hot, but not smoking.
  • 7. Drop Salmon in oil and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side (depending on filet thickness). Salmon should be blackened and crusty on the outside, flaky on the inside, and lightly cooked in the very middle.
  • 8. Serve with a cooling yogurt-based or citrusy side dish.
