Method

Marinating the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt, red chili powder, and olive oil. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the salmon is marinating, chop the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 4

    Season the Vegetables

    In a separate bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your clay oven or grill to a high temperature (around 200°C or 400°F). If using a conventional oven, preheat to the same temperature.

  2. 6

    Skewer the Salmon and Vegetables

    Thread the marinated salmon pieces and the seasoned vegetables onto skewers, alternating between salmon and vegetables.

  3. 7

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers in the preheated clay oven or grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Tandoori Salmon Tikka

    Remove the skewers from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a side of mint yogurt sauce, if desired.
