Sumac-Blackened Salmon with Citrus Salsa

This sumac-blackened salmon recipe is topped with a refreshing citrus cucumber salsa and served over rice. Super easy and delicious and ready to go in 25 minutes!

Seriously one of the best 25-minute meals I’ve made in awhile! ♡

It’s no secret that we’re big blackened salmon fans in our house. But this is the first time that I’ve used bright and tangy ground sumac as the primary spice in the blackened seasoning. And wow — it couldn’t have been more delicious!

I decided to hit the easy button and just roast a big slab of salmon in the oven (with no messy pans to clean afterwards — major win). While the salmon cooked, I diced up a fresh and juicy citrus cucumber salsa to spoon over the top. Then we served everything warm over rice with a few slices of creamy avocado an an extra sprinkle of sumac on top. So lovely!

It was one of those meals that felt refreshingly light and fresh, yet still packed with protein and plenty of zesty, bold flavors. Definitely quick and easy enough for a normal weeknight, yet also beautiful enough to serve for a casual dinner party. I think you’re going to love it!
