DIRECTIONS
1. Put salmon on an aluminum foil–lined baking sheet and set aside. Purée garlic, ginger, and ¼ cup water in a blender. Using a rubber spatula, smear garlic mixture over flesh of salmon, along with salt, half the oil, vinegar, 1 tsp. chile powder, and half of each of the following: cardamom, garlic powder, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, and ground ginger. Toss to coat; cover salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
2. Combine 1 cup yogurt, chiles, and remaining oil, chile powder, cardamom, garlic powder, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, and ground ginger in a bowl; season with salt. Pour yogurt mixture over salmon and gently massage into flesh. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 more hour. Meanwhile, make the raita sauce: In a small bowl, combine the remaining yogurt, along with the cilantro, garam masala, and cucumbers. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle some chile powder or paprika over the top; set raita aside.
3. Heat oven to 500. Uncover salmon and bake until fish is crisp, lightly charred, and cooked through, 20–25 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, transfer salmon to a serving platter and serve hot with the raita sauce. |
