I absolutely Love it!! Better than I have had at any restaurant. Should have taken a picture but I was just very hungry.
Barry Thompson
This was amazing!!! I took another reviewer’s suggestion and halved the oil and salt. I let it marinate for a bit, then put it on a sheet pan next to some asparagus and cooked for 17 minutes at 425. Both were cooked perfectly.
Michael Cummings
I did really like this salmon but I agree the flavor is not strong. I doubled the spices and added juice from half an orange. Next time I think I will try the marinate/bake option.
Eric Rice
This was so simple and yet very tasty. Great recipe for someone who hasn’t cooked fish much.
Wanda Miller
It was amazing, made it for my husband as a birthday dinner and he loved it! So did I. Will def be my go to when making salmon I didn’t have Grapeseed oil so used olive oil. Only thing I had at hand can’t wait to make it with the Grapeseed oil and see if there’s a difference. Amazing recipe. Ps. My husband is Indian so that made me even more excited about this recipe.

OMG! This was a fantastic recipe. Now full disclosure I did bake it instead of pan frying. 400° for 20 minutes with a 2 lb 2″ thick fillet. Skin on. it was soooooo tender, flaky and aromatic. I also added the orange zest and sliced the leftover orange into wedges and arranged on the baking sheet beside the salmon. My wife, daughter and Mother in law went nuts over it. served over rice with a side of Lemon Butter steamed Broccoli. Wooeee. delicious.

I am not a big fan of salmon but this recipe sounded so good I had to try it! It was the best tasting salmon I have ever had. The spices mixedI will definitely keep this recipe close at hand.

My grape seed oil had expired so I used extra light EVO instead and I baked it instead of cooking it on the stove. The next time I make this I’m going to use half the salt of what the recipe calls for. For my taste I like a little less salt. My BF is on a low sodium diet as well. I wanted to make saffron rice with it but didn’t have whole cloves. So I made wild rice with it and it turned out to complement the salmon well. It’s a hit with my boyfriend. Gave the recipe to my daughter who also loves salmon and since her husband is Indian and eats salmon it will be a great dish for him as well.

Circumvented others’ problems by marinating for 30 minutes and baking at 400 for 15 mins. Came out great, but flavoring was indeed very subtle. Also substituted vegetable oil for grapeseed oil and Hungarian hot paprika for regular paprika. Cut salt to a bit less than a teaspoon. Tastes great, and my wife loved it, but I found the flavoring very subtle.

I made this specifically because of the cardamom. I was looking for more recipes containing cardamom. This sounded wonderful with the maple syrup. I rubbed the salmon with the oil and then rubbed the spices in. Then added the maple syrup. I did this about an hour before cooking Delicious and will certainly make it again, especially for guests. Quick and easy.
Leah Anderson
It was ok but nothing special to my taste
Melissa Nguyen
This is a unique blend of smoky and sweet. Super easy! Will definitely make this again. Hint – do use the orange zest, really kicks the taste up.
Mark James
I cut back on cardamom and it was still too much.
Suzanne Gardner
Made this nearly as written, only I used regular canola oil as I didn’t have the grapeseed and used half as much salt. Plus I added a bit of orange zest, which was a good choice. Turned out the orange zest was all I could taste! It was all pleasant enough, though mostly boring, but I really wanted to taste the cardamom. Maybe with some tweaking this could be better but I’m not sure if anything will make me remember it long enough to try it next time.
Randy Anderson
Amazing! I left it a little longer in pan it burned just a tad, and it was amazing. Thanks
Gary Padilla
Very tasty! I only used 2 Tbsp. of oil, and I think next time I will half the salt. I cooked it on medium for 6 minutes per side to avoid having the sauce stick to the pan. Very easy to make and great flavor!
William Harris
Tasty! I followed the recipe and enjoyed it.
Ryan Robinson
Very east to make and quite yummy! The taste is not too sweet, just right.
Kevin Wood
Really wasn’t a fan of the cardamom :/
Suzanne Herring
Holy moly! Super delish!!!!
