Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill on medium-high heat if grilling.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to form a spice rub.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

If using the oven, place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

If grilling, brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Grill the fillets skin-side down for about 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven or grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor.

Step 8

Garnish the fillets with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
