Creating Tandoori Salmon is simple if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, tandoori masala, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, ginger paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
4. Arrange the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any leftover marinade.
5. Bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Broil for Extra Flavor: For an added smoky flavor, broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
7. Garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
8. Serve: Plate the Tandoori Salmon and add your choice of sides.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a delicious and visually appealing Tandoori Salmon dish with ease.
