750 g salmon fillet
1 cup Balkan-style yogurt
1 tbsp grated peeled ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp curry paste
1 tsp hot red-chili flakes
1 lime, cut in half
Preheat oven to 450F (230C). Place salmon, skin-side down, on a foil-lined pie plate. In a small bowl, stir yogurt with ginger, cumin, curry paste and chili flakes. Spread yogurt mixture over salmon.
Roast salmon in centre of 450F (230C) oven until a knifepoint inserted into centre of fish feels warm to the touch, from 10 to 15 minutes. Remove salmon from oven, then cut into serving-size pieces. Squeeze juice from lime overtop. Excellent with rice pilaf and steamed broccoli.
