Marinate salmon fillets with yogurt, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and spices for at least 30 minutes.

Rinse basmati rice under cold water until water runs clear, then soak for 30 minutes.

Slice onions and fry in ghee until golden brown, then remove half for garnishing.

Add chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and remaining spices to the pan; cook until tomatoes soften.

Layer marinated salmon on top of the onion-tomato mixture in the pan.

Drain soaked rice and layer it over the salmon in the pan, followed by fried onions, cilantro, and mint leaves.

Pour in water until just covering the rice, then season with salt.

Cover the pan tightly and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes until rice is fluffy and salmon is cooked through.

Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with raita or salad.
