Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium mango, diced
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 medium jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to create a spice rub.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush the spice rub evenly over the top of each fillet.

Step 4

Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and, if using, the finely chopped jalapeño.

Step 6

Mix the salsa well and taste. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the Moroccan-spiced salmon warm, topped with a generous scoop of the fresh mango salsa.
