Kachumber is a refreshing tomato, onion and cucumber salad served in Indian cuisine. In this dish, we serve a garlic and spice rubbed (and responsibly raised) salmon atop the kachumber to complement the richness of the fish and incorporate a serving of vegetables. While this recipe is full of fresh vegetables, you can consider buying frozen farmed salmon as it’s an environmentally-friendly option too. Safely defrost the salmon at home so you know it’s super fresh when you’re ready to cook it.
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound farmed salmon
2 garlic cloves, minced
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon turmeric
1 ½ teaspoons cumin, divided
1 medium cucumber (Persian cucumber if available), diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of ½ lemon (2 tablespoons lemon juice)
