Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet/Pan - Ideal for cooking salmon without sticking.

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons - Essential for precise ingredient measurements.

  • Digital Kitchen Scale - For accurate measurement of salmon and other dry ingredients.

  • Blender - Perfect for pureeing fresh mustard seeds or making a smooth sauce if the recipe requires it.

  • Fine Mesh Sieve (Food Strainer) - Useful for straining spices to ensure a clean, refined texture in your dish.

  • Cutting Board & Knife Set - For preparing and handling ingredients like vegetables that might be used alongside salmon.

  • Sauté Pan/Skillet - An alternative cooking vessel if a larger quantity of ingredients is needed or preferred.

Instruction 1

Cut the fish into pieces that are about 2" x 1" and rub them evenly with the salt, turmeric, and cayenne. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes-10 hours. Put the mustard powder, cayenne, turmeric, and salt in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water and mix thoroughly. Add another 7 tablespoons water and mix. Set aside.

Instruction 2

Pour the oil into a medium frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the mustard seeds. As soon as they start to pop, a matter of seconds, add the cumin and fennel seeds. Stir once and quickly pour in the mustard paste. Add the green chilies, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the fish pieces in the sauce in a single layer. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through, spooning the sauce over the fish all the time.
