Salmon gets treated with Indian tikka flavours overnight, and is best served straight from the grill with rice, lime and coriander.

1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp finely grated ginger
1 egg, lightly beaten
60g cream cheese, softened
1 cup dill sprigs, finely chopped
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
Pinch each ground cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, turmeric and caraway
1kg skinless salmon, pin-boned, cut into 4cm pieces
2 tbs sunflower oil
Steamed basmati rice, lime wedges and coriander sprigs, to serve

Method

1.

Begin this recipe 1 day ahead.
2.

Combine the garlic, ginger, egg, cream cheese, dill and lime zest and juice in a bowl, stirring with a fork until smooth. Season well, then stir in the dry spices. Coat the salmon pieces in the mixture, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
3.

The next day, thread the salmon pieces onto 8 metal or soaked wooden skewers. Heat the oil in a frypan over medium-high heat, then in batches, cook the salmon skewers, turning, for 4-5 minutes until just cooked but still a little pink in the centre.
4.

Serve the salmon skewers immediately with rice, lime wedges and coriander
