1
Combine 1/2 cup yogurt with all other ingredients except the salmon to make yogurt sauce. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt in the refrigerator.
2
Cut salmon fillet into large chunks. Place salmon on a deep plate and spread the yogurt sauce on top.
3
Prod the salmon (gently) with a fork to get the sauce to penetrate the fish somewhat. Line toaster oven pan (be sure your pan is at least 1/2" deep) with aluminum foil and grease lightly with a cooking oil.
4
Arrange salmon on the foil, keeping as much yogurt sauce stuck to it as possible. Top each piece with a little of the sauce, but the salmon should not be "swimming" in sauce.
5
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until salmon is done to your liking. Mix the reserved 1/2 cup plain yogurt with a dash of garam masala or cumin and serve with the salmon.
