Elevate your dinner with the delightful flavors of Sweet Sumac Salmon, featuring a unique blend of sweet and tangy flavors from sumac that pairs beautifully with tender salmon fillets. This healthy dish is easy to prepare, making it perfect for both seasoned chefs and kitchen novices.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Fillets

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons sumac
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure the salmon fillets are fresh and thawed if previously frozen. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) depending on your cooking method.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, honey, and sumac. Mix well to create a marinade that’s bursting with flavor.
  3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for about 15-30 minutes for the best flavor.
  4. Cooking in the Oven: If cooking in the oven, place the marinated salmon fillets on a lined baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Cooking in the Air Fryer: If you prefer the air fryer, place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket with space between them. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness.
  6. Serve and Enjoy! Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven or air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Drizzle with any leftover marinade for added flavor!

Notes

  • Always opt for fresh salmon fillets for the best taste and texture.
  • Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the salmon fillets, so keep an eye on them.
  • Marinating for too long can overpower the delicate flavor of the salmon.
  • Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked salmon.
  • An extra sprinkle of sumac or fresh herbs can elevate the dish visually and flavor-wise.
