2Cut the salmon into 4 cm chunks. Mix with hung curd, chilli, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, ajwain, juice of half a lemon, mustard oil and salt. Rest 20 minutes.
3Toss the onion with the remaining vinegar and a pinch of salt.
4Blend the mint, coriander, chilli and a squeeze of lemon, then stir into the mayo.
5Thread the salmon on skewers and grill on a tray under a hot grill or in the oven at 240°C for 8 minutes until charred at the edges and just flaking.
6Spread rice in bowls and scatter salmon, cucumber, avocado, pickled onion, ginger and nori over it. Drizzle the green mayo and sprinkle sesame.

Serve it like this

Spread rice flat in a wide shallow bowl, scatter salmon in a loose ring, tuck avocado and cucumber between, and dot the green mayo around. Finish with a pinch of nori and ginger.
