The Best & Easiest Way To Make Weeknight Salmon

The following excerpt and recipe for Everything Sumac Salmon is from Edy Massih’s cookbook “Keep It Zesty.” It’s available for purchase on Amazon.

This is the number one easy weeknight meal that I make at home when I want something fast. It’s simple but complex in flavor. The sumac adds a citrusy note, the everything seasoning adds a salty and nutty flavor, and the spicy tomato jam adds an amazing savory sweetness. Roasting salmon is almost impossible to mess up — just set a timer and enjoy a perfectly cooked fillet in minutes.
