Cuban Island Spice Blend
Savory spice is a beautiful spice shop located in downtown Franklin Tennessee. It’s hard to not find what you’re looking for when you walk in through those doors. Meaning something new always catches my eye. Their international spice blends have never failed me so I decided to give this one a go.
I’ve been shaking that spice jar on EVERYTHING! From omelettes to potatoes and everything in between including this salmon and veg bake. We have three happy bellies tonight and yours too If you will!
Fear not if you can’t lay your hands on a Cuban Island spice blend. You probably have some onion, garlic, cumin , oregano, black pepper and some dried parsley at home. Shake these on your salmon with some salt and olive oil.
Cuban Spiced Salmon Bake
You can definitely throw in more vegetables. Cut them small enough so they cook at the same time as the salmon . Depending on the thickness of your cut it could take between 6-12 minutes to cook the salmon. At 425 and 8 minutes I got a nice char with the broccoli and a perfectly cooked piece of salmon.
I’m thinking you’re sold by now eh! Pick your favorite veggies, or keep it simple like I did with broccoli and carrots and get to baking. This Cuban spiced salmon bake with veggies is sure to please all. Enjoy!
