Salmon gets to be like chicken after awhile -- boring unless you find new recipes. This one is courtesy of Coastal Living Magazine, April 2009, and it's anything but boring. The flavors are decidedly different and perky, a nice change from the same old, same old. It starts with a rub before grilling, then a mixture of herbs and flavorings provide a drizzle to accompany each bite. This one's a keeper.Tandoori-Spiced Salmon with Cilantro-Mint Drizzle

Wow, this salmon recipe sounds and looks great...love all the ingredients in it...cilantro, ginger, mint...almond...yummie! Must taste great. Nice pictures!
This recipe sounds delicious! I just wish Salmon isn't so expensive..lol!
I always chicken out and make my salmon the exact same way... I think this one might convince me to experiment a bit! Your picture looks delicious!
I'll have to try this as I just bought some mint and don't want to see it go to waste, but I don't usually use it for much. (I put it in some fresh fruit with a yummy simple syrup infused with lime and mint.) The fish looks awesome.
