Seared Salmon with Indian-Inspired Cream Sauce is a fusion dish that combines fresh salmon with an aromatic, creamy sauce. This dish is perfect for those who love to experiment with new flavors and ingredients. The salmon is first seared in a skillet to get an excellent crust and then baked in the oven to achieve a tender, juicy interior. The Indian-inspired cream sauce is made with a variety of herbs and spices and is a delicious complement to the salmon. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a dinner party.

Instructions
