great recipe, just what i was looking for...

This is a terrific recipe. I substituted white fish (Basa) for Salmon, and ground ginger for grated (remember to half the quantity of ground for grated). Did it up in ton foil on the barby, and it came out great! I added basmati rice, naan bread and then a tomato/pepper /red onion and feta salad (more Greek than Indian) and got a terrific response from the table! Another benefit for me is that it's quick to prepare. I'm a single Dad with four kids, so time is at a premium!
