Goan beeches and fish curry, no one can say no to them. But this time I am more in mood of a grilled fish recipe with a Goan touch to it. Today I have come up with a delicious fish recipe that is 'Grilled Salmon with Goan Recheado masala, baked potatoes and green salad'. Its name maybe really long 😉 But it's very easy to prepare, perfect anytime dinner that keeps well in the freezer, cooks quickly, and takes on flavors beautifully.
Salmon is a delicious fish which is actually good for health too. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol.
Some interesting facts about Salmon you may like to read

- Salmon is born in freshwater, which then migrates to saltwater to mature and then again returns to freshwater to spawn. So it is an anadromous fish.
- Salmons rely on the sense of smell, ocean currents and moon to find waters where they were born.
- Salmon can be found in variety of colours. It can be blue, red or silver in color. Some may have also black spots and red stripes.
- Spawning is deadly for Salmons. Yes, most salmons die as a result of exhaustion after spawning.
Coming to the recipe, I have grilled salmon with minimal seasoning as I served these with bold and spicy homemade Recheado masala. Recheado masala is one of the popular goan masala. It is a red pastemade mainly with kashmiri red chilies, spices, ginger, garlic and vinegar.
In Goa, Recheado Masala is more commonly served with dishes of Mackerel(an Indian variety), Squids, Prawns. But I have paired salmon with it and the taste was awesome. My family really enjoyed it with green salad and baked potatoes.
Below I have given the recipe instructions for making both Recheado Masala and preparing Grilled Salmon.
