1-Follow these straightforward steps to create a flavorful Moroccan spiced salmon that’s ready in no time. Start by letting the salmon rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. This simple prep helps the fish hold up well during cooking.

2-Next, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the spices: 1 1/4 tsp coriander, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper for a robust blend. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat to get that perfect sear.

3-Season the 4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then rub them generously with the spice mixture. Cook the salmon in the skillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a crisp crust forms and the inside is tender. Meanwhile, for the sauce, whisk together 1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp heavy cream, 1/4 tsp finely minced garlic, 2 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp finely minced fresh cilantro in a small bowl. Season lightly and let it rest.

4-Once done, plate the salmon and top with the lemon yogurt sauce, garnishing with extra cilantro. The total time is just 20 minutes, making it a go-to for busy schedules.
