Easy Indian salmon curry recipe made spicy with chili powder, tomatoes, and onion. This is an easy weeknight meal that can be made in under 30 minutes. No necessary to grind the Indian spices. So, no hassles which help you to make with lesser efforts.
Indian salmon curry recipe is the one which I'm waiting to make it for the last two weeks. We generally make seafood once a week. And for the last couple of weeks, we are grilling them as the weather was so pleasant.
We are in the late spring season and it is getting colder here. And it is cloudy and raining at times. In this type of climate, all I want to make it spicy and rich salmon gravy, which would be the perfect meal for this weather.
Salmon curry recipe is the easiest version of Salmon Kuzhambu, a south Indian style fish gravy. The authentic version of Indian seafood gravy requires many ingredients that may not be available in the modern kitchen nowadays.
Those who love Indian style food and do not want elaborate cooking can opt for this version. As I minimized the processes and reduced the ingredients list to make it easier for you on busy weekdays.
The taste of the curry mainly depends on the quality of the seafood. So, check whether it is fresh to make before using it. Fresh and good seafood tastes great even with minimal preparations.

The curry looks lipsmacking... lovely color too! We always prefer our salmon just with salt and pepper, just fried in some butter... would try this way for lunch one day...

I have had fish curry doing my past visits to India, but never Salmon. Up here in Sweden salmon (Lax) is the Queen of all fishes, so I must try putting it in a curry. Thanks for your great post and recipe.
