Indian Spiced Baked Salmon

Indian Spiced Baked Salmon Fillet | wordpress-6440-15949-223058.cloudwaysapps.com | A healthy meal idea that is SO quick and easy to prepare and packed full of flavour. Dairy free, sugar free and all natural ingredients! Paleo friendly.

Popping a salmon fillet in the oven for dinner is one of my favourite easy meals to prep. It cooks so quickly and is no mess, no fuss, and while it’s baking away you can throw together a quick salad, make some rice or steam some vegetables for the sides. Voila, a simple, healthy and balanced plate of pure goodness.

What makes this easy meal even better is when you can add some punchy, fragrant and delicious flavours to your salmon…which is why you need THIS Indian Spiced Baked Salmon Fillet recipe! By combining a few dried spices with creamy coconut yoghurt, you can create the most amazing all-natural spice paste for your salmon. Simply mix, coat the salmon and bake away; it’s very uncomplicated and you don’t need to start this dish in advance. Perfect for an easy mid-week meal.

Another added bonus of this recipe – the spiced baked salmon fillet works well served cold too, so you can always make an extra portion to have the next day; pop it on top of a salad. (I love to flake the salmon fillet with a fork and toss it through so you get delicious, delicate pieces all the way through your meal, adding such a flavour boost to every bite.) Free from grains, gluten, sugar and dairy, this is a healthy and allergy-friendly protein option. And, importantly, it tastes great! Enjoy.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: dairy free, gluten free, grain free, paleo
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes
Servings: 2 portions

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets, skin on (150-200 grams each)
  • 2 tbsp coconut yoghurt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil or coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 C and line a small baking tray with a piece of foil (or baking paper). Rub the teaspoon of olive oil or coconut oil over the foil to help stop the salmon sticking.
  • In a small bowl or a mug, combine the coconut yoghurt, all of the spices and the salt and pepper until you have a smooth paste.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the baking tray. Cover the top and sides of the salmon evenly with the spiced yoghurt mixture.
  • Bake the salmon fillets for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness, until just tenderly cooked. Serve immediately, or save for later and serve cold.

Notes

*If you prefer, you can substitute the coconut yoghurt with unsweetened plain or Greek yoghurt, or a different dairy free yoghurt of your choice.

    I’m SO impressed with this Monique! I made the fish last night… oh my goodness how delicious and SO easy!!! I had the leftovers today for lunch 🙂 I substituted the salad for what I had in hand – potatoes, grilled brussel sprouts and some sugar snap peas. I can’t wait to make this again (and again)! P.s. do you have a recipe book for sale?

      Hollie – you have absolutely made my day with this kind, genuine and just wonderful comment. I’m still relatively new to blogging and when I read something like this I’m always so touched. Thank you for taking the time to give feedback – and YUM I like the sound of your salad! Love brussels sprouts! Unfortunately I don’t have a recipe book yet, but definitely it’s something I’m building toward 🙂

    This looks amazing!!! What is the salad pictured here please? It looks like grilled cauliflower, rocket, pomegranate seeds and shallots… is that everything?

      Thank you so much for your kind words Hollie! Yes, you’ve guessed the salad ingredients exactly 🙂 I roast the cauliflower in coconut oil or olive oil with salt and cracked black pepper and usually squeeze a bit of lemon or lime on top. Hope you like it!

  • | BIRCHER MUESLI | One of my favourite ways to start the day and the perfect swap for a hot porridge bowl during the summer months. I make mine with loads of different seeds and top it off with fruit and usually a generous sprinkling of granola, too. Gotta have all the different textures! Best thing is you can make a big batch in advance which is perfect for when you’re busy running a million and one errands as Christmas draws closer...with fresh berries and colourful toppings it’s fancy enough for a festive brekky too. Recipe for this Super Seed Bircher Muesli is on Nourish Every Day, link in bio or -> nourisheveryday.com/super-seed-bircher-muesli/ #birchermuesli #bircher #oatsforbreakfast #wholegrain #overnightoats
  • | PLANT PROTEINS | There’s a lot of interest in vegan diets these days, and while that’s not for everyone, many of us can benefit from reducing our meat intake and balancing it out with more plant foods. 🌱 One question I get asked a lot is, where do you get protein from in a vegan diet? I feel that there’s a lot of misinformation out there on this point, some like to criticise and downplay the availability of plant protein, whereas others over exaggerate and mislead about the abundance of plant protein. 🌱 In this graphic I wanted to give some realistic, practical examples of a vegan meal relatively high in protein, with quantities that I think you could actually eat in one reasonable, satisfying meal. 🌱 Good sources of vegan proteins include soy products, legumes, seeds and nuts, with smaller amounts of protein in wholegrains and pseudo grains like buckwheat, quinoa and millet. 🌱 Do you incorporate plant proteins into your meals? #veganmeals #plantprotein #plantpowered #eatmoreplants #veganprotein
  • | LUNCH GOALS | Who else loves a snacky lunch plate like this?🙋🏻‍♀️ One of my favourite things to throw together to graze on as lunch times are often pretty busy at my place. • On my plate: cucumber, carrot and baby tomatoes for my veg, mashed avocado for healthy fats, boiled eggs for protein, and some yummy carbs in the form of a quinoa seed loaf. It’s made from a @thesourcebulkfoods mix - I love making my own loaves like this but sometimes it’s nice to have someone else work out the recipe for you! • What do you like to put on your grazing plates? I probably would have added some cheese or hummus as well if I had some! #lunchinspo #lunchideas #eatyourveggies #simplefood #glutenfreeeats
  • | HEALTHY HACKS | planning, shopping, prepping, cooking, it all takes time! Yesterday we had a bbq at our house and with the boys to look after I didn’t have as much time as I used to. So I grabbed a few of the things I often buy when I need to get food ready fast. Shredded coleslaw veggie mix + canned chickpeas were the foundation ingredients of this yogurt slaw with spice roasted chickpeas👌So delicious and really easy to prepare thanks to these pre-prepped supermarket winners! Yes making this totally from scratch is amazing but we have to make healthy eating practical and accessible. What are your fave healthy hacks? Recipe coming soon. Happy Sunday! #healthyhacks #nutritiontips #eattherainbow #coleslaw #healthylunchideas
  • | HOMEMADE SNACKS | These no food processor protein balls are the most popular recipe on the blog at the moment and it’s not hard to see why; you only need 5 ingredients and no fancy equipment is required! Simple bliss balls that last for ages in the fridge, so make a big batch all at once. Love having a batch of these on hand alongside some of my other fave snacks like nuts, hummus, cheese, veggie sticks, dates, rice cakes. What are your go-to snacks? Full recipe for the protein balls is on Nourish Every Day -> nourisheveryday.com/no-food-processor-protein-balls/ #blissballs #proteinballs #healthysnacks #snackideas #homemadesnacks
  • | FIRST FOODS 👶| Pictured are the very first foods I introduced to the boys when we started complementary feeding, ie when we introduced solids. 🥦 Once upon a time the standard approach used to be starting out solids with rice cereal or fruit purée, but more recent research suggests toddlers/children are more likely to accept a wider variety of healthful foods if we start with vegetables first, and offer them frequently and in variety. 🥦 Starting with the more bitter or neutral flavoured veggies from the outset gives the most opportunity for bubs to adopt them into their taste preferences and may reduce risk of rejecting these foods in later years. 🥦 In the beginning, these can be blended with breast milk or formula to create a smooth consistency and create a slightly more mild flavour, then just reduce or omit the milk/formula completely. 🥦 We started with avocado and moved on from there. All initial foods were a hit except for the green beans, which of all things would seem to be the sweetest! I also blended the potato and spinach together as blending spinach alone is a damn pain. 🥦 I’ve been asked quite a bit about baby feeding recently so I’m going to start sharing some stuff on here, but there will be lots of non-baby nutrition stuff too! #startingsolids #firstfoods #babynutrition #babyfood #weaningjourney EDITED TO ADD: it’s also important to introduce iron-rich foods at around 6 months, these first tastes can be introduced alongside or for 1-2 weeks preceding iron-rich foods. More info to come!
  • | EASY VERMICELLI BOWLS | Sunday night dinner sorted! Salad veggies, rice vermicelli, peanut sauce and your choice of protein. For an easy fix use store bought bbq chicken, or if you want meat-free substitute in the oven baked bbq tofu from my last post! Thinking of possibly making a Christmas cake during baby nap time today. Do you like Christmas cake? What’s your go-to Christmas dessert? p.s. full recipe for vermicelli bowls with peanut butter sauce is on Nourish Every Day -> nourisheveryday.com/vermicelli-noodle-bowls-peanut-butter-sauce/ #easydinnerideas #vermicellinoodles #bowlfood #noodlebowl #peanutsauce
  • | OVEN BAKED BBQ TOFU | New recipe is up on the blog guys! The tofu recipe you need when you’re not so sure about tofu 🤷🏻‍♀️ With a good marinade it becomes tasty little cubes of goodness perfect for tossing into buddha bowls, salads, stir fries...you name it. I recommend it in a colourful bowl like the one pictured, drizzled with tahini dressing. For this recipe, use extra firm tofu so it’s easy to handle and doesn’t fall apart. Full recipe is on Nourish Every Day, link in bio! #bbqtofu #tofurecipes #bakedtofu #plantprotein #veganrecipes
  • | THANK YOU 🙏 | Thank you for all the love on my previous post announcing my change of name and slightly new biz direction. It has been a pretty strange but amazing year...had twins, finished uni, y’know...just pretty intense (understatement!). And I’m so grateful for you guys sticking by me as I’ve not been as consistent with blogging and recipes. But the love for creating things is still there ❤️ and I’m looking forward to getting back into more of a flow! For now though it’s been another crazy day involving hot weather, babies throwing food around a restaurant, vaccinations, temperatures and more...so is cake for dinner acceptable? I think so.
