Method

  1. Boil the potatoes for about 12 mins until tender. Heat the grill to high, stir the curry paste into 4 tbsp of the yogurt, then smear the mixture all over the salmon. Put the salmon in a large flameproof dish, skin-side up, and grill for 10 mins.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Add the remaining yogurt with the butter, chilli flakes and milk. Mash together with a potato masher or use an electric hand whisk to beat the mash to a really creamy texture, adding more milk if you need to. Stir the coriander leaves through. Pile onto plates, place the salmon next to it and drizzle with the cooking juices. Serve with grilled tomatoes.

Prepare the salmon

Salmon from supermarkets often still has the scales on the skin. To remove, hold a fillet in a plastic bag and run the back of a cook's knife over the skin, against the grain of the scales, until they fall off into the bag.

    We loved this recipe and will definitely be doing it again. The mash was great, but I prefer not to use an electric whisk and that would make the mash gloopy.

    I really enjoyed this, but can only award four out of five stars as I think it was the tweaks I made which made it so good! I mixed the (madras) paste with the yoghurt, coated the salmon then used the rest of the curried yoghurt in the potatoes, along with plenty of salt, pepper and coriander herb. I only used a tiny amount of butter but enough milk to give the mash a good soft consistency. But for me the winning touch was using fresh sliced green chilli (not the really hot small ones!) in the mash and to garnish the finished dish, instead of dried chilli flakes, which would have provided heat, but not such great flavour as fresh. Overall a delicious meal, and I'd make it again, definitely. I urge you to try fresh chilli in the mash, plus the remaining curried yoghurt, instead of the version given here. You won't be disappointed.
