    How to Make Scrumptious Cumin-Roasted Salmon with Zesty Cilantro Sauce

    1. Prepare Cilantro Sauce

    Begin by creating the vibrant cilantro sauce that will bring a fresh burst of flavor to the dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped cilantro, finely chopped chives, very finely chopped garlic, and white vinegar. Drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil as you whisk to blend the ingredients into a harmonious sauce. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to your taste. Set this aside for later; it will be the perfect complement to the warm spices of the salmon.

    2. Roast the Salmon

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, setting the stage for a roasting process that cooks the salmon evenly, ensuring it remains moist and tender. While the oven warms, take a small bowl and stir together the ground cumin and smoked paprika with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This spiced oil will not only add depth of flavor but also help to keep the salmon juicy. Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper, then gently rub the spiced oil over the fish, making sure it's well coated. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Slide it into the oven and roast for about 15 to 18 minutes. You'll know it's perfectly done when the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.

    3. Serve

    Once the salmon is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven. Plate the fillets and spoon a generous amount of the cilantro sauce over each piece. The sauce's acidity and herbs will cut through the richness of the salmon, creating a delightful balance of flavors. Serve with a side of lemon wedges, inviting your guests to add a spritz of citrus for an extra zing if they desire.
