- 4 (4 ounces each) salmon fillets
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon tamarind base powder
Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and tamarind base powder. Stir until blended.
Spoon tamarind-mayo mixture over fillets and spread across the top to fully cover.
Bake in a 400 F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until fish easily flakes with a fork and top is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve hot.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels for the topping to adhere well.
- Combine the mayonnaise and tamarind when just about ready to bake as the mixture gets liquidy as it stands.
- If the topping is browning before the fish is fully cooked, loosely tent with a foil.
