COLD ROASTED MOROCCAN SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, cumin, salt, ginger, mustard, nutmeg, cayenne, allspice, and sugar; set aside.
• Line a baking sheet with foil, then spray with nonstick cooking spray. Rinse the salmon with cold water and pat dry. Lightly sprinkle the skin with the spice mix, then place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining spice mix evenly over the salmon. Allow the salmon to come to room temperature, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Sprinkle the salmon with lime juice and roast in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. The salmon will still be rare when removed from the oven, but will continue to cook as it rests. After 15 minutes, wrap the fish tightly with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

MOROCCAN-STYLE SALMON AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oil and garlic in a large stockpot over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add harissa and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock, and bring to a simmer.
• Add sweet potato, cauliflower, zucchini, and squash to pot; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Steam, covered, until vegetables are al dente, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add chickpeas to pot. Season each salmon steak on both sides with salt and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Secure ends of each steak together with a toothpick or wooden skewer. Lay salmon on top of vegetables. Steam, covered, until salmon is slightly firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

MOROCCAN-STYLE GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except salmon in a large bowl or dish.
• Place salmon fillets in the mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
• Oil the grill and heat the coals to a medium. Place the salmon skin-side up on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until done (when the center flakes away easily, and the fish is an opaque pink).

MOROCCAN SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Add salmon, turning to coat. Cover and let stand 15 minutes. Remove salmon, reserving marinade. Place salmon in a 13x9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
• Cut lemon in half lengthwise; cut 1 lemon half crosswise into 1/8 inch thick slices. Reserve remaining lemon half for another use.
• Add the lemon slices, red and green bell pepper slices, 2 Tbsp of water and tomato slices to marinade; stir gently to coat. Arrange lemon mixture in an even layer over salmon; cover with foil.
• Bake at 400°F oven for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates over rice. Top each serving with about 1/2 cup lemon mixture and drizzle each serving with about 2 1/2 Tbsp pan juices.
