Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounces each) salmon fillets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon tamarind base powder

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
