Spiced Salmon with Roasted Grapes & Rosemary Butter

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 cup red grapes, halved
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
3. Spread the halved grapes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.
4. While the grapes are roasting, prepare the rosemary butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter with chopped rosemary. Set aside.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
6. To serve, place the roasted grapes on a plate, top with the cooked salmon fillets, and spread generously with rosemary butter. Garnish with fresh parsley.
