This Broiled Sheet Pan Tandoori Salmon<\/strong> features skinless salmon filets coated in a tandoori spiced yogurt mixture, broiled along with cherry tomatoes and garlic. Broiled tandoori salmon could not be easier to make – or faster – at only 20 minutes total<\/strong> for the whole meal. You’re going to love this incredibly flavor-packed Indian inspired recipe that’s easy enough for a weeknight but delicious enough for special occasions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tandoori refers to an Indian method of cooking in a tandoor<\/a>, which yields high heat. A broiler is a great substitute for a tandoor and yields a beautiful dark char on top of the salmon and the tomatoes which gives it so much flavor. But flavor aside… my favorite thing about using the broiler? How FAST it is! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately I’ve taken to using my broiler more and more. Part of this was because my oven broke for a few weeks and my “bake” setting didn’t work. But what I discovered was that broiling some veggies like asparagus and broccoli, and proteins like chicken thighs and fish, was far better than roasting. It’s like taking a grill indoors. You get gorgeous charred spots and a deeper flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT BUT BUT. Also. It’s SO FAST! There’s no significant preheating necessary, for one thing. I usually give my broiler a few minutes to warm up for good measure. But unlike roasting, you won’t be waiting for like half an hour for the oven to get warm. And because of the high heat, it cooks much faster! This entire sheet pan of salmon and tomatoes only needs about 10 minutes to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do have to keep a close eye on it (due to the fast cooking at high heat)<\/em> and broiling won’t be a good substitute for everything. But for this tandoori salmon, it’s literal perfection. Let’s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
