SPICY AUTHENTIC MOROCCAN SALMON - A TASTE OF CASABLANCA!
When I got married at the age of 21, I could barely make toast, let alone a WHOLE meal! My sister always told me 'but it's so easy!' and I obviously didn't believe her. One frantic evening, when I've procrastinated all day about what to make for dinner, I call my sister for advice. This is when she told me the 'secret recipe' that she learned from my grandmother who was born and raised in Casablanca, whom learned this recipe from HER grandmother. My husband loved it that night, and I make it on a weekly basis for Shabbat. We've had guests who don't even like fish who went crazy about this! You won't regret it.. Serve with rice, Mediterranean salads, humus and pita! Be'teavon! Just a few notes.. I wrote the serving size as 6, but when we have guests, almost no one eats a whole piece of salmon, I've probably served about 9 people with this. All I know is that I always have leftovers, and I've had some hungry guys over! This recipe can be done with any fish, just note that the cooking time is different. I've made this with Tuna and Sole, and it came out great! *Chilli Peppers can be VERY spicy! Use your instincts. Cut it open, smell it, and depending on your reaction is how I would add. For example, if I feel my eyes watering and burning, I take out the seeds. We like spicy, but not burn-your-mouth-so-bad-you-can't-taste-it. Also, wash your hands VERY well afterwards. I almost always forget and end up burning my eyes and face. Use gloves perhaps. Please be careful and enjoy!

Steps:
- On High heat, sauté the bell pepper in the canola oil until semi-soft. Add the tomato, and sauté for another 3 minutes.
- Add the salt, pepper, and turmeric to the vegetables, and stir.
- Coat the pieces of Salmon with the spices by placing each piece in the pan, flipping them, and leave them on top of the vegetables.
- Lower the heat to medium, add enough water to cover the vegetables and salmon half way (about ½ cup).
- Place the parsley on top of the salmon, and add the garlic and chilli peppers to the water.
- Cover half way, and cook for 30 minutes or until the water lowers and becomes more of a sauce, and the fish turns a light pink.
COLD ROASTED MOROCCAN SPICED SALMON
This easy dry rub blasts the fish with unique Middle Eastern flair and is perfect paired with other cold sides and salads. Roast it in the morning to enjoy cold with your guests that evening. Any variety of salmon, or even trout, works; cooking time remains the same as long as the cut is about one-inch thick. It may seem like a lot of seasonings to use on one cut of meat, but cold meat can lose flavor, so the idea is to blast it with flavors from the beginning. If cold fish isn't your thing, refrigerate it and bring it to room temperature to serve.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, cumin, salt, ginger, mustard, nutmeg, cayenne, allspice, and sugar; set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with foil, then spray with nonstick cooking spray. Rinse the salmon with cold water and pat dry. Lightly sprinkle the skin with the spice mix, then place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining spice mix evenly over the salmon. Allow the salmon to come to room temperature, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Sprinkle the salmon with lime juice and roast in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. The salmon will still be rare when removed from the oven, but will continue to cook as it rests. After 15 minutes, wrap the fish tightly with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for brightly colored vegetables, firm fish, and flavorful spices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the salmon, make sure to give each piece plenty of space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the salmon will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness: The best way to check if the salmon is cooked to your liking is to insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. The salmon is cooked medium-rare at 125°F (52°C), medium at 130°F (54°C), and well done at 145°F (63°C).
- Serve immediately: Moroccan-style salmon and vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. The salmon will be juiciest and the vegetables will be crisp and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Moroccan-style salmon and vegetables is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the vegetables are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized. The combination of spices gives the dish a unique and exotic flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as couscous, rice, or quinoa.
