Spice-Rubbed Seared Salmon

1. 1

   Heat fry pan on medium heat. Add coriander, fennel, and cumin seeds and toast 2-3 minutes. Grind spices in spice mill, or use mortar and pestle. Pour into small bowl and add brown sugar and kosher salt to make the rub. Place salmon on a plate and press rub into salmon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 400F. Heat cast iron pan or other oven-proof pan and add olive oil. Heat until smoking, then place salmon skin side down on pan and sear for 4-5 minutes depending on thickness of fillet. Flip salmon gently using tongs (keep skin intact), and place pan in oven. Cook 4-6 minutes until cooked through. You can also prepare this on the grill, cooking 4-5 minutes on each side and omitting the olive oil.

3. 3

   Serve immediately, with lemon slices, if desired.
