Team X-tra Hot Dishes has lived up to it's name and just like the influential flavors of North Africa, we are spicy and energetic with a balance of zesty sweetness mixed in. This easy, yet bold-flavored rub for salmon shows off some of our best qualities. Ingredients:
12 ounces salmon fillets (2 fillets, 6 ozs each, fresh or thawed) |
1/2 teaspoon cardamom |
1/4 teaspoon coriander |
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro |
1/4 teaspoon cumin |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
1/4 teaspoon sea salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
4 tablespoons cilantro, fresh (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and liberally spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, in dish and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (except fresh cilantro) and stir well to form a slightly dry paste.
4. Gently rub the paste onto the salmon and bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
