- ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves minced
- ⅓ cup Chopped parsley
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper

- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Cumin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F
- To start, If you're not using pre cut salmon filets, you'll need to cut them into four equal sized pieces yourself.
- To a bowl, add the minced garlic, parsley and lemon zest to a bowl.
- Then, add the olive oil and lemon juice.
- Now add in the cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, Aleppo pepper and onion powder. Mix well. Here you can taste the mixture before adding it to the salmon and adjust to your liking.
- Add the salmon filets to a lined oven dish, and pat them dry using a paper towel.
- Now, evenly distribute the seasoning mixture over the salmon fillets, and use your hands to get it on all sides.
- Finally, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven until tender and flakey, about 12-15 minutes depending on how thick it is.
- Serve with some tahini sauce, tahini salad or salata arabiya, spiced rice, and fresh lemon.
