Method

Preparation of Marinade

Make the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are blended into a smooth paste.

Marinate the Salmon

Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized cubes. Add the salmon pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for better flavor.

Grilling the Salmon

Preheat the Grill

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 200-250°C or 400-450°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Skewer the Salmon

Thread the marinated salmon pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Grill the Salmon

Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serve

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the salmon tikka with lime wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro.
