Pan Fried Salmon with Goan Recheado Masala

 

          Check out this delectable Salmon Fish Fry marinated in a classic Goan Recheado spice paste, that is both fiery and tangy. This red chili paste is full of flavors and is a must have in your refrigerator as it is quite handy. It turned out super yummy and ideal for a weekend light dinner along with some salad. You can also enjoy as an appetizer with any chutney / dip/ hummus or as a side dish with plain biryani / pulao / jeera rice. 




          Earlier I had tried with King Fish and it came out absolutely yummy. So tried with salmon this time. It was my first experience of pan frying salmon using Indian spices and was a bit skeptical as to how it would turn out. However, the end result turned out just the way I wanted. Superb!!!

         I skipped the mandatory salt, pepper, garlic and butter seasoning and wanted to try out in an Indian style. So the Goan Recheado spice paste came to my rescue as it is both spicy and tangy and suits my palate. 




  • 2 Salmon fish fillet, washed & drained
  • Recheado masala (recipe given below)
  • 2 tbsp. oil
  • 2 tbsp. butter







          Marinate the fish fillet with the spice paste for 2-3 hours.

          Heat oil and butter in a pan and shallow fry the marinated fish on both sides till done. 

          Serve as it is or with salad for a nice comfort meal.
