Best 9 Easy Brazilian Spiced Salmon Recipes

SALMON WITH SWEET AND SPICY RUB

Steps:

• Coat your grill or a grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over medium heat. While the grill is heating, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Brush each salmon fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil, then rub each fillet with about 1/2 tablespoon of the spice mixture.
• Grill the salmon, flesh side down, until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook another 5 to 6 minutes for medium doneness. For well done fish, cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately.

SENSATIONAL SPICED SALMON

SPICY GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a medium baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease foil.
• With a mortar and pestle, grind together the garlic, chile pepper, and olive oil. Mix into a thick paste with the mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, and coat with the paste mixture.
• Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
• Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
• Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
• Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.

SPICY BAKED SALMON RECIPE WITH LIME AND HARISSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Make the sauce. In a mixing bowl, add ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil with the harissa paste, honey, lime juice, garlic, spices, and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk to combine. Set the sauce aside for now.
• Pat the salmon dry and season on both sides with kosher salt, then place it in a lightly oiled 9" x 13" baking pan. If you like, you can pour a little harissa sauce into the center of the baking pan, and then place the salmon on top.
• Spoon the sauce all over the salmon and spread it well.
• Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and place it on the center rack of the heated oven.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part (cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your fish. If your salmon is thinner, check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick, 1 ½ or more inches, it may take a bit longer.)
• Carefully remove from oven and open foil to uncover the top of the salmon. Place it under the broiler briefly, about 3 minutes or so. Watch closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't over-cook and the garlic does not burn.)
• Remove from the oven and serve with lime wedges to the side.

SPICE-RUBBED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 10 ingredients. Rub fillets with seasoning mixture; drizzle with oil., Place salmon on a lightly oiled rack, skin side up. Grill, covered, over high heat or broil 3-4 in. from heat 5 minutes. Turn; grill 4-6 minutes longer or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

SALMON WITH BRAZILIAN RUB

Steps:

• In a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the juices, salt and pepper.
• Add the salmon, turning to coat with the marinade.
• Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the fillets once.
• Preheat the oven to 425F.
• Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and grease with a little of the melted butter.
• In a small dish, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, chili powder and minced garlic.
• Rub the marinated salmon with the brown sugar mixture.
• Place in the pan and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
• The big challenge here is not overcooking the fillets- 8 minutes will do for thin fillets (less than 1 inch) and no more than 12 minutes for the thicker fillets.
