A healthy way of having Omega 3 rich Salmon fillets marinated in mild tikka flavors, pan-fried to perfection. This can be served along with rice or mashed potatoes.
I must have tried a variety of marinades with this sea delicacy which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. All I can say about this fish is that it has its own flavor and it does not need anything more than salt and pepper as seasoning. Salmon Tikka makes a perfect dinner platter with cooked rice, sauteed vegetables, and pan-fried Salmon fillets. A very ideal meal for weight watchers and those on a healthy diet.
Salmon is one of my favorites among the seafood, as it does not need any strong spices. It has its own flavor and does not give a strong aroma even while it is being cooked. In this recipe, I have tried to marinate the fish with a mild version of tikka flavors so that it does not overpower its original flavor.
