*You can purchase curry leaves at your local Indian grocery/market.", "Next, lower the heat and add in the honey, brown sugar, soy sauce and tamarind concentrate and reduce until a thick glaze/syrup-like consistency forms. Add your remaining dry spices (red chili powder, salt and freshly ground pepper) and mix well. Keep an eye on it and keep stirring to avoid sticking/burning.", "Turn off heat once desired consistency is achieved and allow to cool.", "Coat your salmon fillets with a good pinch of freshly ground black pepper and salt on both sides.

Pop your salmon, skin side down, and brush any remaining glaze over the salmon, including the sides.", "Cook your salmon for 8-10 minutes per fillet (depending on your oven) to avoid overcooking.
