Tandoori cooking has roots in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, dating back to the Mughal Empire. The tandoor oven, a clay oven, allowed for high-heat cooking that imparted a unique smoky flavor. Tikka, meaning 'pieces' or 'chunks,' traditionally referred to marinated meat or paneer cooked in the tandoor. The adaptation with salmon is a more recent innovation, reflecting the availability of salmon and evolving culinary preferences.

The dish is characterized by the distinct smoky char from the tandoor, the tanginess of yogurt, and the warmth of ginger, garlic, and garam masala. Turmeric provides an earthy note and vibrant color, while chili powder adds a touch of heat. Lemon juice brightens the overall flavor profile, balancing the richness of the salmon. The salmon itself contributes a delicate, buttery flavor.

Marination Time
Marinate the salmon for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the fish.
Yogurt Consistency
Use thick Greek yogurt, or strain regular yogurt, to prevent the marinade from becoming too watery and hindering browning.
Tandoor Substitute
If a tandoor is unavailable, a very hot oven or grill can be used to mimic the high-heat cooking effect.
Don't Overcook
Salmon cooks quickly. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become dry. It should be just cooked through and still moist.
