Moroccan Salmon

salmon

sugar (or brown sugar)

cayenne paprika

Garnish- orange zest

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

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

Pomegranate Salmon Recipe 

salmon salmon salmon

olive oil

shallots-

fennel bulbs- very thinly sliced

white wine

salt and pepper

miso paste

maple syrup

garlic cloves, finely minced

Pomegranate molasses (see notes for homemade version)

salt and black pepper

Make the salmon marinade by whisking marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over the salmon, coating it well. Let marinate 15 minutes or up to 24 hours(refrigerated)

Braise the fennel. Heat olive oil over medium high in an extra large skillet. Saute the fennel bulb and shallots for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until golden and slightly tender, you may need to turn heat down. Splash with wine and season generously with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until wine has evaporated. Let it finish cooking in the oven with the salmon.

Place the salmon in the oven to roast- either in the pan, over the braised fennel, or separately on a parchement lined baking sheet. Depending on the size, thickness and the way the salmon is cut, cooking time will vary. For individual portions, check after 10 minutes. Whole filets will most likely take 15 minutes, and extra large thick filets, even longer. Better to err on the side of under than over, so set a timer.

When the salmon is done, scatter with pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs for color.
