CUMIN-ROASTED SALMON WITH CILANTRO SAUCE
Roasting a whole fillet of fish might seem like a weekend-only treat, but cooking salmon this way is a luxury you should allow yourself on any old Tuesday, as it requires no additional preparation or skill. Be sure to slather the vinegary herb sauce on the still-warm salmon to allow the warm spices and fresh herbs to get to know each other better.

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:
- Ensure salmon is cooked to your desired doneness by gently pressing the center with a finger. It should feel firm but still slightly yielding.
- To achieve a crispy skin on the salmon, sear it skin-side down in a hot skillet with a little oil. The skin should sizzle and turn golden brown.
- If you don't have ancho chile powder, you can substitute another type of chili powder or smoked paprika.
- The white bean and ancho chile broth can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve the dish.
- To make the cilantro pesto, use fresh cilantro leaves and a good quality olive oil.
- The roasted shallots add a sweet and smoky flavor to the dish. Be sure to roast them until they are caramelized.
- Kale is a hearty green that can withstand being sautéed. It will wilt down and become tender when cooked.
Conclusion:
Pan-roasted salmon is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be paired with a variety of sides. The white bean and ancho chile broth adds a smoky and slightly spicy flavor, while the cilantro pesto adds a refreshing brightness. The roasted shallots and sautéed kale add texture and depth of flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is perfect for a special occasion.
