Ingredients
- 4 180-g salmon fillets
- 4 tsp tandoori curry paste , or 2 tsp mild Indian curry paste
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- pinch cumin
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt , not low fat, or regular sour cream
- 1 green onion , sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
- Oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Smear tops of fish with tandoori paste. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out and discard seeds. Brush all over with oil and sprinkle with seasonings. In a bowl, stir yogurt with onion.
- Place fish, skin side down, on grill. Then add zucchini, cut side down. Close lid. Barbecue until a knife tip inserted into centre of fillets comes out warm, 10 to 14 minutes. Don’t turn fish. Turn zucchini after 5 minutes, and as soon as each piece is fork-tender, remove to a large platter.
