A Flash of 900°F Heat

Salmon is incredibly delicate and can dry out easily. Our clay tandoor oven, which reaches 900°F (approx. 600°C), is the perfect tool for cooking it. When the skewered salmon is lowered into the intense radiant heat, the outside crusts up immediately, locking in the natural omega-3 fats and juices of the fish. It cooks in just minutes, absorbing the fragrant smoke from the coals below while remaining moist and flaky on the inside. 

Delicate and Tangy

Because salmon is a naturally rich fish, it requires a marinade that cuts through the fat without overpowering the seafood. Our chefs gently coat the salmon chunks in a bright, tangy blend of yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ginger paste, and mustard oil. The mustard oil provides a sharp, traditional coastal flavor that elevates the fish to an authentic masterpiece. 

Premium Coastal Sourcing

  • The Protein: Premium, thick-cut salmon fillets, rich in healthy fats and incredibly tender. 
  • The Marinade: Thick yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, and pungent mustard oil. 
  • The Spices: Carom seeds (ajwain), which are traditionally used with seafood in India for their thyme-like flavor, plus turmeric and Kashmiri chili. 

 

Straight From the Coals

Your tandoori salmon is pulled from the hot skewers directly onto a bed of crisp onions and bell peppers. It is served with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the top and a cooling side of mint chutney to contrast the warm spices. 

The Perfect Seafood Spread

  • Jeera (Cumin) Rice: A light, fragrant basmati rice that perfectly complements the delicate fish. 
  • Dal Makhani: Add a bowl of savory lentils for a hearty, protein-packed side. 
  • Garlic Naan: Essential for scooping up every last bite.
