Honey Cumin Salmon

salmon is a weekly occurrence in our household. when sockeye, coho, or any other wild salmon is in season, you can find it on our table at least once a week.

that fact alone means i am always on the look out for salmon recipes. some of my standbys are balsamic glazed, tamari ginger, and barbeque.

but i happened upon this series of 50 salmon recipes from martha stewart. i started with the first one and it was delicious. i added a couple of things but the combination of sweet honey with cumin, coriander, and soy sauce was to die for!

Honey Cumin Salmon
adapted from martha stewart
serves 2

2 salmon filets
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbs honey
3 tbs tamari or soy sauce
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
olive oil

in a small bowl, whisk together coriander, cumin, honey, tamari, garlic, and lemon juice. heat 1 tbs olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat. brush salmon filets with honey mixture and sear first side for 2-3 minutes. flip and continue to cook until desired doneness (i like it still slightly pink insdie). when salmon is done, remove from pan and set aside. pour remaining sauce into pan and let bubble for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. pour over salmon and serve immediately.
