I had bought some frozen salmon filets for dinner this week but had no idea what I was going to do with them. Then the new Cooking Light arrived and this Spice Roasted Salmon caught my eye. I didn’t have any garam masala but I used a brown sugar and paprika salmon rub I’d bought a while back. When I mixed up the yogurt sauce and tasted it, it seemed very bland. I added a bit more salt and a bit more lime juice and it was okay but not great. But when I put it on the salmon it was perfect!
