Method

  • step 1

    Combine the yogurt, garlic, ginger, lime juice, spices and some salt and pepper, then set aside. Drizzle the oil over a baking tray and lay the salmon on top, skin-side down. Spread the yogurt mixture all over the salmon flesh, then cover and chill for at least 20 mins, or up to a few hours, if you have time.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Uncover the salmon and bake on the tray for 20 mins until the marinade is lightly charred and the salmon is just cooked through. Serve directly from the tray or on a platter, scattered with the chopped coriander and sliced chilli, alongside the extra lime wedges and naans, or other sides of your choice (see below).
