Cold Roasted Moroccan Spiced Salmon image

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.

Time 1h12m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 pounds (1-inch thick) boneless, skin-on center-cut salmon fillets
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

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.

I don't have a smoker, so I can't make this recipe. Is there a way to adapt it for a regular oven?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made dish.
