Good flavors. I didn’t have time to marinade it. Took longer than 15 min

I didn't have time to marinate the salmon but cooked it with the sauce. Think next time I'll add 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp coriander, and use half the amount of garam masala, because I prefer that flavor profile.

The seasoning and ingredients are spot on. Next time I would pan sear the salmon in a pan skin down and then put in a 500° oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
