Shorshe Salmon -- Salmon with mustard

I had always heard about shorshe salmon. The first time I made it was when my parents were here. Before that we used to have a baked salmon dish which my husband makes (recipe courtesy, his friend). My parents tried the baked salmon but since they were not accustomed to the taste they were kind of ok with it, didn’t quite relish it. That’s when I decided to try this out and it became a hit.

Ingredients:
Salmon – 6-8 pieces
Mustard paste – 2tbspn
Yogurt – 2tbspn
Mustard oil – 5 tbspn
Green chilies (slit) – 8-10
Salt – according to taste
Turmeric powder – 1 tsp

Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350F.

In a flat oven safe dish/ bowl arrange the salmon pieces. Season with salt. Drizzle 3 tbspn mustard oil on the fish and coat them well.

Now make a mixture of the mustard paste, yogurt, turmeric powder and remaining mustard oil.

Drizzle the mixture on the fish and coat the fish pieces well.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and put it in the oven.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until fish flakes when touched with a fork.

Garnish with green chilies and serve hot with steamed rice.
