Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill (medium-high heat). Purée ginger, 1/4 cup oil, 1 Tbsp. garam masala, garlic, coriander, and cumin in a blender until coarse purée forms. Put salmon into a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Coat salmon with ginger purée. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, stir yogurt, cucumber, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, and remaining 1 tsp. garam masala in a medium bowl. Season raita to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Brush the grill rack with oil. Brush off marinade for easier grilling, or leave it on for a better crust. Grill salmon, turning once, until it just begins to flake in center, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer salmon to a platter. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with raita.
