Favorite Spiced Salmon

FAVORITE SPICED SALMON

Been making this easy salmon recipe on repeat - it uses a similar seasoning as my grandma’s roast chicken recipe and is just loaded with flavor. I served it with smashed potatoes, but it tastes great with rice and some roasted veggies too. Enjoy!

Serves 2.

Ingredients:

For the Spiced Salmon:

• 2 salmon filets

• ½ tsp ground coriander

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• ¼ - ½ tsp red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)

• ½ tsp ground fennel (optional) - I grind my own in my coffee grinder

• 1 small clove garlic, grated

• 1 tsp orange zest

• 1 tsp lemon zest

• 1 tsp orange juice

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt to taste

Serving Suggestions:

• Rice or roasted potatoes

• Roasted veggies like asparagus or broccoli or a side salad

Directions:

For the Spiced Salmon:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

• To a small bowl, add the coriander, fennel, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, grated garlic, orange zest, lemon zest, orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix to make a paste.

• Place the salmon on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and rub with the marinade (don’t skip the sides!). Bake the salmon at 400 degrees for 12 minutes or until it flakes easily.

• Serve with rice or potatoes and veggies and enjoy!
