About
The Indian spices in the dish lend itself so well to fatty, delicious salmon. This meal would also be a great one to meal prep! The salmon is baked in the oven, which gives you time to prepare the salad and cucumber mint sauce. The flavors of the cucumber avocado salad are amazing, crunchy and crisp at the same time with a nice tangy dressing. The cucumber mint yogurt sauces puts the meal over the top! One note, be sure to purchase garam marsala that is sugar free! Use two 6 oz salmon fillets.
Ingredients
- 12 oz, boneless, raw (yield after cooking) salmon
- 1 tablespoon garam masala punjabi style by penzeys spices

Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine the garam marsala, olive oil and ½ t salt together. Brush on top of the salmon. Try to use most of the spice mixture. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
- In the meantime, cut cucumber in half the long way and then cut cucumber into half moon shapes that are ½” thick. Cut the avocado in half, take the seed out and peel the skin off. Cut into slices. Try to find an avocado on the firmer side because it will hold up better in the salad. Toss cucumber and avocado into a large mixing bowl and add in greens. Sprinkle on 1 ½ t apple cider vinegar and 1 ½ t olive oil. Then ¼ t kosher salt.
- Reserve some cucumber and dice enough to make ¼ cup. Add into yogurt along with 1 t apple cider vinegar, ⅛ t salt and mint. Mix to combine.
