Stir in onions and let sit. Preheat oven to 400°.  In a medium bowl, stir garlic, ginger, paprika, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, and cloves into yogurt. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread yogurt mixture in an even layer over top of salmon.  Roast salmon until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil until golden if desired, about 3 minutes. Serve salmon with cilantro, pickled onions, and lemon wedges.
