Ingredients
4 salmon steaks (skin removed)
1 tbsp Caraway seeds (dry pan toasted and freshly ground)
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/3 tsp cayenne
1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
6 cloves garlic (crushed)
60 ml Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
Black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp tomato purée
150ml water
Handful chopped coriander and 1 lemon cut into 4 wedges to serve.
Method
Dry toast the caraway seeds in a frying pan over a medium high heat taking care not to burn them. Transfer to a pestle and mortar to freshly grind the seeds.
To a small bowl add the ground caraway seeds, crushed garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne, ground cinnamon, Black pepper, Salt and Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil. Stir to combine the spices to form a runny paste.
Heat a sauté pan on a medium heat and fry the spice paste for a few minutes just to cook the spices trough and soften the garlic.
Add the water, lemon juice, tomato puree and sugar, stirring thoroughly to combine into a smooth sauce. Place the salmon fillets in the sauce and cover with a lid and simmer gently for 5-8 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and serve on rice with lemon wedges.
Enjoy!
