Crispy Crust Salmon

1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix the liquids first (lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon, honey or pure maple syrup). Then add the spices (ground cumin, adobo seasoning, smoked paprika, chilli powder, sea salt, pepper) and pressed garlic (if using), and combine well.
2. Ensure your salmon fillets have their skins on. Place the fillets on a baking pan, skin side down.
3. Generously coat the salmon fillets with the prepared marinade using a basting brush.
4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Place the baking sheet with the marinated salmon fillets into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
6. After baking, switch your oven to broil on high for about 2-3 minutes to achieve that crispy crust. Do not skip the broil.
7. To check if the salmon is done, grab a fork and gently try to flake or break apart the thickest part of the salmon. It should flake easily.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!
