Spicy Walnut Salmon

Calling all seafood lovers! This is probably the best salmon recipe and a family favorite! These salmon are seasoned with tons of incredible spices and the addition of walnuts give a wonderful and surprising crunch with every bite.

You can cook these on the stovetop, on the grill, baked in the oven and even air fried. I would not suggest deep frying it as the marinade will fall off. This marinate is kept chunky so it stays on the fish.

Can I Use Other Fish for This Recipe?

Yes, you can use any of your favorite fish depending on the availabilty.

Can I Use Frozen Salmon?

Indeed I often use frozen because it is easily available. You will need to thaw the fillets for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, place the frozen fish in cold water to speed up the thawing process. After it has thawed, place the fillets on paper towels and cover to absorb any excess moisture from the thawed fish. It is necessary that it is completely dry for the marinade to stick.

Can I Use Other Nuts?

Feel free to substitute the walnuts with your favorite nuts- cashews, peanuts, almonds. They all work great. Just make sure not to pulse it too much in the processor, we do not want to turn it into a paste.

How To Store Leftovers?

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days only. I would not suggest freezing it because it does not freeze well. You can reheat the salmon either in the oven, in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes or in the microwave on low heat for 45 -60 seconds.

Serving Suggestions:

I serve it along with my coriander chutney, tamarind chutney , yogurt sauce or along with rice.
