Pan-Seared Moroccan Salmon Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 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
  1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the salmon. Stir to create a paste.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Spray with oil and add salmon. Cook 2 minutes per side, then lower heat to medium. Continue cooking until inside is no longer translucent, about 3 minutes per side.
