Salmon with an Indian Flare

So I modified this recipe from Cooks Illustrated The Best Recipe. It turned out to be very flavorful. I had a small salmon fillet but it turned out to be perfect b/c the spices were a mouthful. I did not have mango to add on top this time, but I bet that would soften the kick. It was still delicious without the mango.

Ingredients

1-2 Tbs fresh minced ginger
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground corriander
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 good long wild salmon fillet
Sesame Oil

Chutney
2 Tbs chopped cilantro
1/2 chopped onion
3 Tbs lemon juice
1 large chopped mango (this I didn't have tonight but look forward to trying it)

Mix all the spices together and smother on top of salmon. Pour lemon juice on top. Let marinade for no more than 30 minutes. Saute in Sesame Oil along with the chopped onions. Remove the salmon and cook the onions with the cilantro for just a minute more. Serve on top Salmon and enjoy!
