- Salt and black pepper
- 1tablespoon coriander seeds or ground coriander
- ¼teaspoon whole or ground cloves
- 1½teaspoons cumin seed or ground cumin
- 1teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Season fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. If necessary, combine spices and grind them to a coarse powder in a coffee or spice grinder. Press some of the mixture onto the top of each fillet.
- Step 2
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.
