I love Tandoori preparations.So simple, yet packed with flavor and irresistible!They look great on any table and are versatile enough to be served as an appetizer or a main dish.They look elegant, smell heavenly and are always a crowd pleaser.They’re one of my most popular party appetizers and I’ve made many different versions both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian.

They’re surprisingly easy and flavorful and do not require much effort.You can marinade them overnight and grill them the next day!I love using local ingredients and creating dishes with an Indian twist and this is one such example where I’ve combined my favorite preparation with my favorite fish Salmon!
Often you will find Tandoori dishes having a reddish color,that is due to the addition of food coloring and is purely optional.I have made mine without any coloring here.Enjoy!
