FOUR-SPICE SALMON



Four-Spice Salmon image

Fish fillets can be a weeknight cook's savior. They are healthful and easy to prepare, require little time to cook and take well to all manner of spices. In this straightforward recipe, adapted from the New York chef Katy Sparks, you start with salmon fillets, liberally rub them on one side with a mixture of ground coriander, cloves, cumin and nutmeg, and then brown them in a very hot pan so the spices form a crust. Flip once, and that's it. For the best results, use fillets of equal sizes, cook them to medium rare, and use freshly ground spices. If you have only pre-ground, be sure they haven't gone stale sitting in your cabinet too long. (Yes, spices can go stale.)

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 6-ounce skinned salmon fillets
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon coriander seeds or ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon whole or ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seed or ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons peanut oil, grape seed or other neutral oil, or clarified butter

Steps:

  • Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. If necessary, combine spices and grind them to a coarse powder in a coffee or spice grinder. Press some of the mixture onto the top of each fillet.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the oil or butter and, when it shimmers, place the fillets, coated side down, in the pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spice mixture forms a nicely browned crust.
  • Turn the fillets and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the salmon just slightly resists when pierced with a thin-bladed knife.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cilantro, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped chives (from about 1/2 bunch)
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds skin-on salmon fillet
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Combine cilantro, chives, garlic, vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. (Alternatively, pulse the ingredients in a food processor until you've reached the desired consistency.) Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Roast the salmon: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cumin, paprika and olive oil in a small bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle salmon with spiced olive oil mixture, transfer to the oven, and roast until fish is opaque and just cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Remove salmon from oven and spoon cilantro sauce over the top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh salmon. Fresh salmon will have a brighter color and firmer texture than salmon that has been frozen.
  • Make sure the salmon is skinless and boneless. This will make it easier to cook and eat.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the salmon. This will help the rub penetrate the fish and create a more flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa are all great options.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon cumin rub is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your salmon. The rub is made with a combination of spices, including cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and paprika. It is then applied to the salmon and cooked in the oven. The result is a flavorful and moist salmon dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
