Spiced Salmon with Roasted Zucchini and Caramelized Onions

A flavorful and healthy weeknight dinner featuring pan-seared salmon seasoned with a warm spice blend, roasted zucchini ribbons, and sweet caramelized onions.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 Large zucchini, thinly sliced into ribbons
  • 1 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Ginger powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss zucchini ribbons with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with paprika, cumin, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Heat the skillet again over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. To serve, arrange roasted zucchini ribbons on plates, top with caramelized onions, and place a salmon fillet on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
