Description

Ingredients

• 2 (thick) salmon filets 4- 6 ounces each
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon sugar (or brown sugar)
• pinch cayenne
• 1 tablespoon oil for searing
• Garnish- orange zest

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F
• In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, cumin, salt, sugar and cayenne.
• Sprinkle over both sides of the salmon.
• Heat oil in a oven proof skillet (cast iron) over medium high heat. Sear salmon on both sides 2 minutes on each side then place in the warm oven to finish for 5 minutes or to desired doneness.

• Note: To keep this vegetarian, coat two pieces of tofu with the spice mix and sear like the salmon. Alternately, you could sear cooked chickpeas with the spices and crisp them up.
