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.
