Indian-Spiced Salmon
Thomas J. Story
Tired of the same old glazed salmon recipes? Try this Indian-inspired salmon recipe featuring seasonings like fennel, coriander, cumin, and cloves.
How to Make It
Step 1
Rinse salmon and pat dry. Line a 12- by 18-inch baking pan with foil and set pieces, skin down, 1 inch apart in pan. Scatter onions around salmon.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar, coriander, fennel seeds, cayenne, cardamom, cumin, salt, pepper, cloves, and cinnamon. Stir in lemon juice. Brush mixture evenly over tops and sides of salmon pieces.
Step 3
Bake in a 400° oven for 15 minutes. Turn oven to broil; broil salmon 6 inches from heat until top is bubbling and well browned and fish is opaque but still moist-looking in the center of the thickest part (cut to test), 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 4
With a spatula, transfer salmon pieces to a serving dish (leave skin behind) and surround with onions. Sprinkle with cilantro and garnish with lemon wedges.
Chef's Notes
Grind fennel seeds by pulsing in a blender or crushing in a mortar.

Excellent and easy. We prep the spices into containers ahead of time making it quick to prepare during the week.
tasty!
this was a nice combination of flavors! used olive oil instead of butter, and only 2T brown sugar. used 1/2t cayenne, but it was a bit too hot! and i like it hot !!! roasted brussels, carrots and purple cabbage as a side.
One of my favorites
