Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillet, preferably center-cut
1 tablespoon Dijon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

SPICY BAKED SALMON RECIPE WITH LIME AND HARISSA



Spicy Baked Salmon Recipe with Lime and Harissa image

Spicy salmon with harissa sauce is all you need for a light, flavor-packed dinner! Ready in just 15 minutes or so, it's the perfect fish dinner for busy weeknights. I recommend using a center-cut salmon fillet to ensure the entire piece of fish cooks at the same speed. For the sauce, homemade harissa or a quality store-bought one will work. Serve this harissa lime baked salmon with a side of bright veggies like sautéed asparagus or crispy lemon broccoli and grains of your choice.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Entree     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ pounds salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil,
2 to 4 tablespoons harissa paste, (homemade or store-bought)
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
Juice of 2 large limes, (plus optional lime wedges to serve)
3 to 4 large garlic cloves, (minced)
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt

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.

SPICED ROAST SIDE OF SALMON

Serve salmon with paprika, ginger and honey mustard glaze for an Indian-inspired, original roast

Provided by Roopa Gulati

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1½ kg side of salmon, skin on
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp coarsely ground black peppercorns
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 tsp honey
1 lemon, cut into wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a big roasting tin with baking parchment or foil - this helps to prevent the fish from sticking to the tin as it cooks. Brush the salmon skin with oil and place it, skin-side down, on the paper.
  • Mix the ground ginger with the paprika, pepper, mustard, honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread it evenly over the fleshy side of the fish.
  • Roast, uncovered, for about 20 mins until the salmon is cooked through - check by poking a knife into the fillet and making sure the fish flakes easily.
  • Serve directly from the tin, or use a couple of fish slices to carefully lift the salmon onto a big plate. Slice into portions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

SMOKY AND SPICY ROASTED SALMON



Smoky and Spicy Roasted Salmon image

Inspired by the smoke, spice and sweetness that characterize classic dry barbecue rubs, this super easy salmon recipe skips the grill, making for easy cleanup and a dinner that's doable any night of the week. While a fragrant rub like this one might overpower a milder fish, salmon stands up to strong flavors beautifully. This dish works well with summer picnic sides like coleslaw and potato salad, but it is equally good with roasted potatoes and a simple green salad. The rub is only mildly spicy as written, so add a pinch of cayenne if you'd like a little more kick.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
1 1/2 tablespoons dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, pepper and garlic powder; mix well with a fork.
  • Sprinkle the spice rub over the fillets, then turn them, pressing gently, to coat all sides with the rub. Brush the fillets all over with the olive oil.
  • Roast the salmon for 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until it flakes easily and is just cooked in the center. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright, vibrant color. Avoid salmon that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a healthy fat that will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful. Avoid using vegetable oil or canola oil, as these oils can make the salmon taste greasy.
  • Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings that will help to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon is dry and tough, so it is important to cook it carefully. The best way to check if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is done.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Baked spiced salmon is best served hot, so it is important to serve it immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked spiced salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can make sure that your baked spiced salmon turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give baked spiced salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
