sugar (or brown sugar)

cayenne paprika

Garnish- orange zest

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, cumin, salt, sugar and cayenne.

Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet (cast iron) over medium-high heat. Sear salmon on both sides 2 minutes on each side then place in the warm oven to finish for 5 minutes or to desired doneness.

LOOKS AMAZING! I've just landed in Morocco and after I inevitably get hooked on all the amazing flavors here I'll look forward to creating this dish in my kitchen at home!

Wonderful recipe... appreciate the instructions specific to searing the salmon and then finishing the cooking in the warm oven. Worked beautifully to perfectly cook the fish. You must make this with the incredible quinoa recipe... added some chopped dates and substituted  toasted pistachios for the almonds and used  a pink red type of orange  because my market did not have blood oranges; it came out  unusual and really tastey!

Very tasty.  Can't have enough great salmon recipes and this one hits the spot!

So easy and absolutely delicious!   
Your blog is my new go to site when I can’t think of what to make for dinner. Thank you!

Absolutely great dish easy to prepare and very enjoyable to eat

Love this recipe,  especially paired with the Moroccan quinoa. Just make it again tonight.

Delicious and super super easy! Couldn't believe how fast this came together. I may have overcooked it by a minute or so, probably just bc of the thinner cut of my fish - so may be worth checking a minute or two before time is up. Still tasty and I'll definitely make this again :)

The Simple Moroccan Salmon recipe sounds simple enough. I already have all the ingredients in my pantry except for the salmon! I will cook this for dinner tonight. :-)

I'm definitely going to make this dish. I have everything on hand, and I love mixing up new spice rubs. I'll have to sub Valencia oranges for the blood oranges, but I'm sure that will be fine.

Absolutely delicious, loved the different spices that you don't usually find with salmon.  I followed the directions explicitly with perfect results.  Served with the celery and lentil salad.  Thank you as always, your site is  my primary recipe resource
