Cook Time: 10–15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons Zamouri Spices Charmoula Tagine Spice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons water, as needed
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish, optional

Directions

  1. Make the Charmoula marinade. In a small bowl, combine the Charmoula Tagine Spice and olive oil. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water to create a loose paste, adding a little more water if needed.

  4. Serve. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve with couscous, rice, roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
