- 1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch dried red chili pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 (4 ounce) salmon fillets (skinless)
- Olive oil spray
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the salmon. Stir to create a paste.
- Rub the paste to evenly cover the salmon fillets. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 5 minutes to 2 hours.
