Grilled Salmon with Salad

When I visited my cousin N last time, she made this yummy grilled salmon with a side of salad and pasta. This is inspired from her recipe. I was too lazy to make the salad or the pasta, so served the fish with some store bought salad. You can use this recipe for any fish that can be grilled, just that the cooking time varies. So here's the recipe.

Serves: 1 or 2

What you need:

• Salmon fillet: 0.5 lb
• Garlic: 4 cloves - randomly chopped
• Onion: 1 small - thinly sliced
• Chilly powder: 1/2 tsp
• Pepper powder: 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric: a pinch
• Salt: to taste
• Oil

How to make:

• Clean the salmon and remove the scales.
• Mix the chilly powder, pepper powder, turmeric and salt in a tbsp of oil. Keep a small quantity of the marinade aside.
• Marinate the fish with this mixture for about 30 minutes.
• Mix the garlic cloves and the onion slices with rest of the marinade.
• Take a roasting pan or tray and drizzle some oil.
• Spread some of the garlic-onion mixture and place the salmon fillet on top. Sprinkle rest of the garlic-onion mixture around the salmon.
• Pre-heat the oven to 400 degree F. 
• Grill the fish for 5 minutes. Check once and continue grilling until cooked. It took about 10 minutes for the fillet I used.
• Take the pan out of the oven and turn the fish.. Set the oven to Broil option and broil the fish for 2 minutes. This makes the skin crispy.
• Serve with the salad.

Notes:

• For the fish, I usually leave the skin on. You can take it off if you do not like it. 
• I used olive oil as there was some at home. Feel free to use any oil of your choice
