Salmon
- Heat the oven to 350F.
- Create the spice. In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, salt, ginger, turmeric, paprika, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil if your pan is not non-stick.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place it skin side down (if using fillets with skin).
- Pour the spice mixture over the salmon, making sure to coat the sides as well. Let the salmon rest 10 minutes or up to 24 hours, if desired.
- Place the salmon in the middle rack of the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Pistachio-mint gremolata
- While the salmon cooks, make the gremolata.
- Toast the pistachios in a hot pan on the stove until they are just starting to turn golden brown. Remove and cool. Chop coarsely.
- In a small bowl, combine the pistachios, mint, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Set aside.
Finish
- When the salmon is done cooking, remove the salmon to a plate.
- Top with the gremolata and serve.
Notes
Store the cooked salmon in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat at 325°F for 5–7 minutes or gently in a skillet or microwave. Note that the pistachios will not stay crisp. If you’re cooking for a crowd, roast the salmon on two pans at once, but swap the rack positions halfway through for uniform heating. Leftover salmon can be flaked into salads or used in grain bowls.
