Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the grill or broiler to 250°C. Rinse the salmon fillets if needed, then pat them very dry with paper towels so the marinade adheres well.

In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, tomato paste, tandoori powder, lemon juice, oil, garlic purée, and optional chilli powder until smooth and evenly colored.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a baking dish or on a lined tray. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then spread the tandoori yogurt mixture over the top and sides of each fillet.
