How to

  1. Preheat oven to 220 C or 200 C fan-forced.
  2. Place cumin, turmeric, mustard, ginger, garlic, coriander and three-quarters of chilli in a food processor. Process to form a paste OR in a Thermomix, place into TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds  on speed 7. Scrape down sides.
  3. Add yoghurt and process until smooth OR in a Thermomix, mix 10 seconds  on speed 4.
  4. Reserve 1/3 cup of yoghurt mixture and refrigerate until ready to use. Spread remaining yoghurt mixture over both sides of each salmon fillet.
