Notes
Skin-on boneless fillet of salmon works best for this recipe. You can also use salmon steaks if you like. Simply adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the salmon. A digital thermometer can be used to check for doneness. I always make sure that the temperature of the thickest side is 145 degrees F
If using frozen fish fillets, make sure to thaw them fully before marinating
Dried fenugreek leaves (Kasoori methi) can be used in place of fresh methi leaves. Simple crush 1 tablespoon of Kasoori methi on the palm of your hands and add them to the marinade
Instead of pan frying, you can also bake (400 F for 12 to 15 minutes) or air fry (350 F for 8 minutes) the marinated salmon.
