Delicious. And easy. Draining the tomatoes before adding them will add body to the sauce. Save the liquid in case you want to thin it afterwards.

Wonderful, easy Indian dish. Definitely my favorite salmon dish ever. I like that it balances the fishy flavor. Next time I'll add more garlic. I love that it makes a lot of sauce so you can freeze half for future flash-fast meals. I'm using the leftover sauce with garbanzo beans and 10minute Brown rice tonight. What a winner, thanks!

Very good. Made it just as stated. Found the sauce a little bit too thin even though I cooked with the lid on for ten minutes and the rest of the time without lid. Maybe cooking the whole time without covering would be better (for us). This indeed makes a lot of sauce and I froze some of it and can report that it freezes well. The sauce goes very well with fish and I have also used it with chicken. Very pleased I made it. Thanks for posting.

Superb. The best salmon I have ever made. It makes alot of sauce, so you can invite more guests, who will be absolutely enchanted.

This was simply outstanding! I have to admit that I was rather apprehensive but the taste and presentation of the dish couldn't be beat. I did not modify this recipe at all, which is quite unusual for me. I served it with Cumin Potatoes as suggested by another reviewer and it made for a very satisfying and colourful meal! Thanks for sharing - this is definitely a keeper!
