Best Smoky Chermoula Salmon Recipes
SMOKY AND SPICY ROASTED SALMON
Inspired by the smoke, spice and sweetness that characterize classic dry barbecue rubs, this super easy salmon recipe skips the grill, making for easy cleanup and a dinner that's doable any night of the week. While a fragrant rub like this one might overpower a milder fish, salmon stands up to strong flavors beautifully. This dish works well with summer picnic sides like coleslaw and potato salad, but it is equally good with roasted potatoes and a simple green salad. The rub is only mildly spicy as written, so add a pinch of cayenne if you'd like a little more kick.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, pepper and garlic powder; mix well with a fork.
- Sprinkle the spice rub over the fillets, then turn them, pressing gently, to coat all sides with the rub. Brush the fillets all over with the olive oil.
- Roast the salmon for 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until it flakes easily and is just cooked in the center. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.
SALMON WITH CHERMOULA SAUCE AND COUSCOUS
What better way to use up cilantro and parsley in the fridge, than making a spiced and flavorful herbaceous sauce! This Moroccan sauce gets paired with earthy spices like cumin and coriander, making it an easy go-to coating and marinade for many proteins. In this recipe, it's pulsed in a food processor and gets spooned over salmon filets. This chermoula also calls for adding juice of lemon and the zest, but you can try it with preserved lemons for a nice relish.

Steps:
- Make the chermoula: Combine the cilantro, 1/4 cup parsley leaves, the garlic, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander and the lemon zest and juice in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the zucchini and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 1 minute. Add the harissa, 1 1/4 cups water and a big pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, then cover, remove from the heat and wait 5 minutes; fluff with a fork. Stir in the 2 tablespoons chopped parsley; season with salt.
- Season the salmon with the remaining 1 teaspoon each cumin and coriander and a few pinches each of salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Divide among plates and top with the chermoula. Serve with the couscous and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the bottom of a roasting tin that's large enough to fit the salmon in with baking parchment. Brush ½ tbsp oil over the skin and season all over. Place skin-side down in the tin and roast for 15-20 mins until the salmon is just cooked through.
- Meanwhile, toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a dry frying pan. Tip into a blender and add all the remaining ingredients. Blitz to a smooth green sauce, adding enough water to get a drizzling consistency. Season to taste. The chermoula can be made in the morning and kept chilled in the fridge. Put the salmon on a serving platter and drizzle over a little chermoula, with the rest on the side to serve.

SALMON WITH CHERMOULA
This recipe is originally from Williams-Sonoma cook book, "Essentials of Mediterranean Cooking". The Chermoula herb blend is so delicious; it is a blend of cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon, cumin, and paprika. It has such a deliciously bright and fresh flavor. This recipe could be good with any type of fish but I especially like it with the Salmon.
