How to Make Moroccan Style Salmon
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato juice, honey, lemon zest, and cumin. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until sauce has slightly thickened.
- Stir in lemon juice and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to taste.
- While the sauce simmers, season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Broil salmon 4-6 inches from the heat source for 10 minutes per inch of thickness (measured at the thickest part).
- Place each salmon fillet on a plate. Top with the tomato sauce, sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately with couscous or rice.
