Tandoori Salmon Fillets with Mango Mint Relish

A wonderful salmon dish with loads of Indian flavour.  I used Greek Yogurt thinned with a bit of milk for this.  The Mango Mint relish really compliments the salmon.  From Food and Drink Autumn 2003.

MARINADE
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp garam masala or curry paste (I prefer the garam masala)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup plain yogurt
4 salmon fillets, about 175 g each

MANGO MINT RELISH
1 large mango, peeled
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp finely chopped jalapeno pepper
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp chopped mint leaves
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil for brushing salmon

1. Combine garlic, ginger, lemon juice, garam masala, vegetable oil and yogurt.  Spread on salmon. Let marinate for 1 hour.
2. Dice mango into 1/2 inch dice.  Toss with onions, ginger, jalapeno pepper, lime juice and mint leaves.  Season with salt (I omit the salt).  Reserve, refrigerated until needed.
3. Brush salmon with oil then grill salmon flesh side down for 2 minutes, turn over, close lid and grill 5 minutes on skin side or until white juices appear.  Serve relish on the side.
