Tandoori Salmon Cooked in Air Fryer

Tandoori is an Indian method of cooking over a charcoal fire in a cylindrical clay oven called a tandoor. Meats cooked in the tandoor are marinated in yogurt and spices. I really enjoy tandoor inspired foods and the great thing about it is that most options naturally fits into a keto or low carb diet. I decided to share my tandoori salmon recipe.

For this recipe I use salmon fillets marinated in a spiced yogurt marinade and cook in the air fryer for a quick and easy method of preparation. The tandoori salmon turned out delicious and is a must try recipe.

If you are looking for chicken option you can try my tandoori chicken recipe or tandoori chicken wings recipe. The paneer tikka skewers are a vegetarian option.

First, in a bowl mix 2 tbsp yogurt, 2 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp ginger paste, 2 tsp garlic paste, 2 tsp vinegar, 2 tsp chaat masala, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp crushed fenugreek leaves, 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste), 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp lime juice. Then, add 1 pound of salmon fillets and rub marinade mix into salmon. Finally, refrigerate for at least an hour so the marinade soaks into the salmon.
