Ingredients

• 2 large Salmon Fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 3 minced Garlic Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
• 1 sliced Red Onion

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium heat. If using an oven, preheat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Once marinated, remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and let them reach room temperature while the grill/oven preheats.

Step 5

On a grill: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cover. Grill for about 15 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 5-10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

In an oven: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the salmon fillets on it, skin-side down. Bake for around 20-25 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

Step 7

While the salmon is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and slice the red onion.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the salmon fillets from the grill or oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and red onion slices before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately alone or with a side of your choice suitable for a keto diet, such as cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad.
