Ingredients:
• 2 pounds salmon
• 2 ounces olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
• 1 large onion
• 8 cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup water (more if you want additional sauce)

• 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon masala (hot mixed spices)

About the Recipe
Ranjit Dhaliwal would be the perfect party guest. He’s retired (so he’s in no hurry), he’s relaxed (so he doesn’t complain), he’s an excellent cook and he loves it when people ask him to prepare one of his excellent curry dishes.
Ranjit said he was born in the Fiji Islands and lived in England for 30 years before moving to Yuba City 24 years ago. He explained that one of the best things about this area is that his four children, 11 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter all live close by. They like him being close as well, because, he said, when he’s invited to visit, they often ask him to cook. In fact, on the day I visited with him, he was getting ready to cook a birthday dinner for a family friend.

Getting it done:
To prepare salmon:
Sprinkle salt over the fish. Then place the whole pieces into a large zipper-closure plastic bag. Carefully place bag into boiling water. Let it cook for about 10 minutes.
Once the salmon is done, remove from the bag, strip off the skin and break fish into small pieces before adding to the sauce mixture.
To prepare sauce:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the salt and cumin. Slice the onion and sauté until translucent.
Grind the garlic and pepper into a paste and stir to combine; add to onion mixture and stir.
Add the water, cubed potatoes, jalapeño peppers and the rest of the dry spices. Bring to a simmer and lower the heat to medium.
Add the salmon pieces to the sauce mixture, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Once the potatoes are soft, the curry is ready to serve over cooked white rice.
