This spiced salmon is one of the easiest, most flavorful ways to cook fish. The Khalo marinade keeps it juicy and deeply seasoned, while the quick roast-and-broil method gives you a perfect crust — ideal for weeknights and easy to pair with grains or vegetables.


Khalo Recommendation

Best with: Hot Take — bold, warming, great for digesting proteinsAlso works well with: Essential for a more balanced, everyday flavor

How much to use:

Start with 2 tablespoons Khalo. If you want a lighter flavor, use 1–1½ tablespoons. For deeper intensity, add a little more — Khalo should enhance the salmon, not overpower it.

Khalo Tip:

If you’re unsure, start with Essential. If you want more warmth or energy, reach for Hot Take. Cook the greens with Gold Rush

Oven-Roasted Spiced Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 5–6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons Khalo (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • Juice of ½ lemon

blank

  • Asparagus, broccoli florets, or green beans
  • Extra lemon slices, for finishing

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set oven to 375°F before you start prepping to save time.
  2. Prep the salmon. Rinse and pat salmon dry. Remove any pin bones if needed.

  3. Make the marinade. In a small bowl, mix Khalo, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice with a fork or whisk

  4. Season the salmon. Place salmon on a lined sheet pan. Use a knife to make a few shallow slits across the top. Drizzle the marinade over the salmon and use your hands or a spoon to gently massage it in.
  5. Add vegetables (optional). Add asparagus or other quick-cooking veggies to the same pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and a little lemon.
  6. Roast. Bake for 12 minutes, then switch to broil for the last 2 minutes to create a lightly crisp, golden top.
  7. Finish & serve. Taste and adjust salt or lemon if needed.
