This Moroccan Salmon Made My Fish-Hating Husband Ask for Salmon Twice This Week!
I discovered this Moroccan salmon recipe when looking for ways to make fish more exciting for my reluctant seafood-eating family. After years of plain grilled salmon that barely got touched, this spice-rubbed version has completely transformed our dinner routine. The first time I served it, my teenage son (who normally picks at fish) actually asked what spices I used because he wanted to remember the flavors.
What makes this salmon special is how the warm Moroccan spices create a beautiful crust while keeping the fish incredibly moist and flaky inside. The blend of cumin, paprika, and cinnamon adds depth without being overwhelming, while a hint of lemon brightens everything perfectly. I love how the spices transform ordinary salmon into something that feels exotic and restaurant-worthy.
I appreciate how quickly this recipe comes together – perfect for busy weeknights when I want something healthy but flavorful. My husband, who used to claim he "doesn't do fish," now specifically requests this Moroccan version and even suggests it when we're meal planning.
