Low Carb Indian Spiced Salmon with Cucumber Mint Yogurt

10 ratings

The Indian spices in the dish lend itself so well to fatty, delicious salmon. This meal would also be a great one to meal prep! The salmon is baked in the oven, which gives you time to prepare the salad and cucumber mint sauce. The flavors of the cucumber avocado salad are amazing, crunchy and crisp at the same time with a nice tangy dressing. The cucumber mint yogurt sauces puts the meal over the top! One note, be sure to purchase garam marsala that is sugar free! Use two 6 oz salmon fillets.

Recipe Steps

steps 4

35 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine the garam marsala, olive oil and ½ t salt together. Brush on top of the salmon. Try to use most of the spice mixture. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    In the meantime, cut cucumber in half the long way and then cut cucumber into half moon shapes that are ½” thick. Cut the avocado in half, take the seed out and peel the skin off. Cut into slices. Try to find an avocado on the firmer side because it will hold up better in the salad. Toss cucumber and avocado into a large mixing bowl and add in greens. Sprinkle on 1 ½ t apple cider vinegar and 1 ½ t olive oil. Then ¼ t kosher salt.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Reserve some cucumber and dice enough to make ¼ cup. Add into yogurt along with 1 t apple cider vinegar, ⅛ t salt and mint. Mix to combine.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Remove salmon from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve salmon on top of salad with a spoon of yogurt on the side.

            This was really easy, fast & yummy. Made enough for the whole family. They had theirs with Jasmin rice, but I was totally happy with the salad, fish & yogurt. I added mint to the salad too. Yum!

              I used almond milk yogurt (kite hill) instead of Greek yogurt (so much lower carb) i put some vadouvan curry in the yogurt and mixed it up. I spread that on top of the salmon and baked. It was amazeballs.

                A lovely light meal. Less is more on the seasoning of the salmon.

                  I tried this. Not bad. I’m not convinced that the flavour of Garam Marsala was right for salmon. of course Garam Masala is a spice blend and there are many variations of it, so perhaps my blend wasn’t up to it. I did love the bed of cucumber and avo with the yoghurt dressing.
