Super easy pan-seared Salmon. Source https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014578-four-spice-salmon Ingredients 4 6-ounce skinned salmon fillets Salt and black pepper 1 tablespoon coriander seeds or ground coriander ¼ teaspoon whole or ground cloves 1 ½ teaspoons cumin seed or ground cumin 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 2 tablespoons peanut oil, grape seed or other neutral oil, or clarified butter Preparation Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Toast spices then grind them to a coarse powder in a coffee or spice grinder. Press some of the mixture onto the top of each fillet. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the oil or butter and, when it shimmers, place the fillets, coated side down, in the pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spice mixture forms a nicely browned crust. Turn the fillets and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the salmon just slightly resists when pierced with a thin-bladed knife.
