How to Make Moroccan Spiced Salmon Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Marinate for at least 15 minutes for a quick flavor boost, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor penetration.
  4. Preheat your grill, skillet, or oven to the desired temperature. If grilling, consider using a cedar plank for added flavor.
  5. Remove salmon from the marinade and reserve some marinade for basting during cooking.
  6. Cook salmon according to your preferred method. For grilling or pan-searing, cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. For baking, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes.
  7. During cooking, baste the salmon with the reserved marinade for extra flavor and moisture.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, Moroccan-spiced salmon!
