Easy Brazilian Spiced Salmon Recipes

BROWN SUGAR SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chile powder, salt and pepper. Put the salmon on the baking sheet. Evenly distribute the sugar-spice mixture over the top of the fillets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

SENSATIONAL SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine the first six ingredients; rub over salmon. Place in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes.

SPICE-RUBBED SAUTEED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a sharp knife, slash the salmon skin to form cross-hatch marks. Stir the spices together in a small bowl, and then rub over the flesh side of the salmon.
• Heat the oil in a medium oven proof non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon, skin-side up, and cook until seared and golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the salmon and cook until the skin sizzles and fries, about 1 minute. Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking until the salmon is firm to the touch, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the fillets to 4 plates. Serve with the sauteed greens, if desired.

SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except salmon; brush over salmon., Place salmon, skin side down, on an oiled grill rack or on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 10-15 minutes.

SALMON WITH BRAZILIAN RUB

Steps:

• In a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the juices, salt and pepper.
• Add the salmon, turning to coat with the marinade.
• Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the fillets once.
• Preheat the oven to 425F.
• Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and grease with a little of the melted butter.
• In a small dish, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, chili powder and minced garlic.
• Rub the marinated salmon with the brown sugar mixture.
• Place in the pan and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
• The big challenge here is not overcooking the fillets- 8 minutes will do for thin fillets (less than 1 inch) and no more than 12 minutes for the thicker fillets.
