Masala, a blend of spices and herbs used in South Asian cooking, gives this aromatic dish the flavour of Pakistani cuisine.

Ingredients

1/4 cup  (60 mL)  peanut oil or vegetable oil
1-1/2 cups  (375 mL)  sliced onions
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  yogurt
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  minced fresh coriander
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  lemon juice
2 green hot peppers, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp  (10 mL)  grated gingerroot
2 tsp  (10 mL)  curry powder or curry paste
1 tsp  (5 mL)  salt
4 salmon steaks or skinned pieces of fillet (each about 6 oz/175 g)
Coriander sprigs

Preparation

In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté onions, turning down heat if blackening, until browned and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes.

Reserving oil, drain through sieve over heatproof bowl; let cool.

In food processor, whirl together onions, yogurt, fresh coriander, lemon juice, peppers, garlic, ginger, curry powder, salt and 1 tbsp/15 mL of the reserved oil until paste.

Scrape into large bowl; add salmon and turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

On greased rack, broil salmon 6 inches/15 cm under element or grill over medium-high heat, turning once halfway through and topping with any leftover paste, until fish flakes easily, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle coriander over top.

Makes 4 servings.
