Ingredients:

  • 4 (6-oz) salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 1 tbsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 Lime, halved
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix the spices (garam masala, turmeric, paprika, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper) in a small bowl.
  3. Drizzle avocado oil over the flesh side of the salmon fillets.
  4. Apply the spice rub generously to the top of each fillet. Press firmly until the spices form a thick paste on the meat.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Place salmon on a parchment lined tray skin side down.
  7. Roast for 10 minutes until the edges are slightly charred and the center flakes easily.
  8. Check for doneness using a fork. The meat should look opaque and velvety in the center.
  9. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the hot fillets immediately. Listen for the sizzle as the acid hits the rendered fat.
  10. Garnish with cilantro and serve while the skin is still crackling.
