Tandoori Salmon with Sushi Rice

Local food blogger and home cook Keela Ferrell of @eatswithspoon shared her deliciously simple recipe for Tandoori Salmon with Sushi Rice. Enjoy!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

• 5-6 ounce salmon fillet (preferably without the skin)
• 2 tablespoons SKORDO Tandoori Spice
• 1 large avocado
• 2 radishes 

For the rice:

• 1 cup of sushi rice
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1 bunch of cilantro

Garnish:

• Lemon juice
• SKORDO Tandoori Spice

Instructions:

• Make sushi rice via stovetop or rice cooker. 
• Coat salmon with SKORDO Tandoori Spice. Let rest in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Prepare the vegetables: cube the avocado, slice the radishes, and de-stem the cilantro.
• Warm a nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Raise the heat to medium-high. 
• Place the salmon (skin-side up if skin still on) in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over, and cook until it feels firm to the touch. Remove any salmon skin before serving. 
• Once the sushi rice is cooked: mix in cilantro leaves, mirin, and white vinegar.
• In a bowl, layer the rice, salmon, and vegetables. Then top with a sprinkle of tandoori spice. Serve with lemon wedge.
