CRISPY-SKIN SALMON WITH CURRIED YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the salmon: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. With the sharp edge of a knife, scrape the skin back and forth the length of a fillet over and over with light pressure. You will see moisture build up on your knife edge; wipe it away. Continue for about 1 minute, until there's almost nothing to wipe away. Cut a few 2- to 3-inch slits across the middle of the salmon skin. Repeat with the remaining fillet.
• Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle with the oil and set aside until ready to cook.
• For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic, garam masala and curry powder in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Heat a 9- to 11-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. There is no need to oil the pan, because you oiled the fish. Add the fillets skin-side down, laying them away from you. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Shake the pan until the salmon releases from the bottom of the pan by itself.
• Carefully turn the salmon over and reduce the heat to medium-low so the flesh side cooks more slowly. Cook until a thin-bladed knife inserted into the flesh meets with just a little resistance or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a fillet registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes (thinner pieces will be done quicker than the thicker ones).
• Serve the fillets topped with some of the yogurt sauce.
