The paste recipe will make more than you need and it will store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freezes well. Delicious served with my Indian Inspired Runner Bean recipe

You could use smaller pieces of salmon and serve as a starter with a salad made with mint and coriander on the side.

800g skin on salmon fillets, cut into 4 equal pieces

Crust mix

1/2 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 tsp ground star anise

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chilli powder (I use Kashmiri which is milder)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp ground coriander

4 tbsp vegetable oil

120g fresh coriander, including stalks

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

5 tbsp desiccated coconut

3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

4 cm piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

4 green chilli, roughly chopped (seeds removed if you prefer less heat)

Put all the crust ingredients in a food processor and blitz to a paste.

Preheat the oven to 200c fan and line a baking tray with foil and lightly grease.

Put the salmon on the tray, generously cover each piece with the crust mix and roast for 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
