Cumin-Roasted Salmon With Cilantro Sauce image

Roasting a whole fillet of fish might seem like a weekend-only treat, but cooking salmon this way is a luxury you should allow yourself on any old Tuesday, as it requires no additional preparation or skill. Be sure to slather the vinegary herb sauce on the still-warm salmon to allow the warm spices and fresh herbs to get to know each other better.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cilantro, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped chives (from about 1/2 bunch)
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds skin-on salmon fillet
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Combine cilantro, chives, garlic, vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. (Alternatively, pulse the ingredients in a food processor until you've reached the desired consistency.) Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Roast the salmon: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cumin, paprika and olive oil in a small bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle salmon with spiced olive oil mixture, transfer to the oven, and roast until fish is opaque and just cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Remove salmon from oven and spoon cilantro sauce over the top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I might have used too much cumin.
