Healthy Ingredient Recipes Healthy Fish & Seafood Recipes Healthy Fish Recipes Healthy Salmon Recipes Ras El Hanout-Spiced Salmon Skewers with Date-Studded Spinach Be the first to rate & review! We love how using a purchased spice blend allows you to incorporate multiple flavors into a dish with just one ingredient. Here we season salmon with ras el hanout, which often features cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, ginger, cardamom and ground black and red pepper. The spinach side is very versatile—try it with grilled tofu or steak another time.

Add tomatoes and onion, toss to coat, then transfer to another bowl. In the empty bowl, combine 1 tablespoon oil, ras el hanout and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add salmon and toss to coat. Thread a piece of salmon onto a 10-inch metal skewer, followed by a tomato and an onion piece. Repeat again, then finish with a third piece of salmon. Repeat with 7 more skewers. Preheat grill or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grill (or grill pan) by holding an oil-dipped paper towel with tongs. Grill the skewers, flipping to sear all sides, until the salmon is just cooked through and the tomatoes begin to soften, about 6 minutes total. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add dates and garlic; cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and softened and the dates caramelize a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and, working in batches, add spinach; cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and silky, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Serve the skewers with the spinach.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
