Garam Masala Pan Seared Salmon with Spinach

This Indian-spiced salmon recipe is easy and quick to put together -- the best 15-minute -dinner you can make for a busy weeknight! There is nothing quite like salmon skin cooked to perfection. It's crispy, fatty and salty.. just like the bacon.
Garam masala is an Indian spice blend and has a typical deep brown colour. It is highly aromatic and tastes sweet, spicy and pungent. It has a stronger flavour than curry mix. If you don't have garam masala, then use curry powder instead, or 3 parts of cumin with 1 part allspice for an easy substitute. Personally I prefer to cook with high-quality animal fat, but feel free to use any plant fat, like coconut oil or avocado oil.

  • 2x280 g Salmon fillets, skin on
  • 4 tsp Garam masala
  • 1 tsp Black salt
  • 4 tbsp Organic grass fed beef tallow (or ghee, coconut oil)
  • 1 Red chilli pepper, deseeded and diced
  • 1 Shallot, diced
  • 1 Garlic, diced
  • 300 g Spinach
  • Lime, quartered, to serve
  • Fresh herbs, to serve
  1. Season the salmon on both sides with garam masala and black salt. Heat the beef tallow in a pan over medium-high heat until melted and hot. Add the salmon, skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and the flesh flakes easily. Leave to rest on a plate while you cook the spinach.
  2. Add diced chilli pepper and shallot into the hot pan. Stir briefly. Add in garlic and spinach leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  3. Spoon the spinach onto plates, then top with the salmon. Garnish with herbs and serve with lime wedges.

  4. Angie, Thanks for the alternative variation for salmon. Sounds like a nice change from the usual. Also, my wife, who likes everything pickle, would love those seedy pickle juice cracker sticks. Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  14. I do ever so liebe mich spinach, I eat it at least once a week during the season and now it is its season so I'm enjoying it as much as possible, although I hate washing it. I usually boil mine with garlic for five minutes, mash it and put a spoonful of mayo in it.

  23. We eat salmon steaks several times a week and I generally skin it and cook it wrapped in tin foil in the oven!

    I have never thought about cooking it with the skin on and as we both enjoy the spicy curry flavours, this looks like a great new way for me to 'ring the changes' with my salmon.

    It looks delicious and thank you so much for sharing! :)
