Recipes–Tandoori-Style Grilled Salmon

This recipe is simple to make involving just a marinade, a few hours resting, and a few minutes cooking.  I have tried to get this right many times – I recreate from memory and sometimes I forget few things – and this time I’ve done it.  This dish is designed to be grilled in an oven, but there is no reason why you couldn’t grill it on an outdoor grill.
