Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the flesh side of each salmon fillet.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the skin to get crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook on the flesh side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the heat and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fillets.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
