Equipment
- skillet
- baking pan
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Measuring spoons
- Tongs or Fish Turner
Ingredients
- 4 pcs salmon fillets
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 ¼ tsp ancho chili powder
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp White Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine the ancho chili powder, paprika, and cumin. This dry spice mix will form the base of your flavorful salmon rub.
- Season the fillets: Sprinkle the spice mixture generously over each salmon fillet, making sure they are well-coated on both sides.
- Fry the salmon: Heat the butter and canola oil in a skillet over low heat. Once the butter melts, add the salmon fillets to the pan and fry for about 5 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and seared.
- Bake the salmon: After frying, sprinkle the fillets with a little brown sugar, then transfer them to a baking pan. Bake the salmon for another 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Add the finishing touch: Before serving, drizzle the salmon with maple syrup for a sweet and savory finish.
Tips
- Add minced ginger for an extra kick of flavor that complements the smoky spices.
- Try ginger garlic pimento seasoning: This spicy seasoning can add an extra layer of complexity to the flavor.
- Serve with grains or veggies for a well-rounded meal. Rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables work perfectly with the salmon.
