Place the salmon in the oven and bake until it flakes easily with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the salmon to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C).

Grind 2 cups of walnuts in a food processor.

Add 4-5 cloves of garlic and 1 teaspoon of coarse salt to the walnuts in the food processor.

Add 1 teaspoon of marigold, 1 teaspoon of blue fenugreek, 1 teaspoon of coriander, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground chili pepper to the mixture.

Pour in 1.5 cups of room temperature boiled water and pulse again until combined.

Transfer the walnut sauce to a bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Serve the salmon topped with the walnut sauce, optionally garnishing with vegetables.
