Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 165kcal
Ingredients
- ~1 pound salmon (whole or individual filets)
- 2 teaspoons ras el hanout (Moroccan spice blend)
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick spray, or a light brush of oil.
- Place salmon on baking sheet, skin side down (if skin on). Blot the salmon dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub spice blend on top and sides. For maximum flavor development, let the spice blend sit on the salmon for ~15 minutes before cooking.
- Roast 10 minutes for every inch of thickness. Salmon should flake easily with a fork and internal temperature should reach 145ºF.
- Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and lemon juice. Enjoy!
Notes
Remove small pin bones before cooking using fish bone tweezers; these are no fun to bite into!
