Preparation Process:
Total Time: 30 minutes
1. Prep the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Create the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and then evenly coat them with the spice blend. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
4. Roast the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Prepare the Sauce: While the salmon is roasting, in a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and chopped parsley. Stir in the remaining lemon juice.
6. Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the sauce over the fish and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as couscous, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
