Yield: 30 servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1½ teaspoon | Whole cumin seeds |
| 1 teaspoon | Whole coriander seeds |
| 2 teaspoons | Whole fennel seeds |
| 1 teaspoon | Coarse salt |
| ⅛ teaspoon | Freshly ground black pepper |
| 1¾ pounds | Salmon fillet; skin removed, |
| \N \N | And cut into 3/4\"-square pieces |
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle, or slightly crush the whole seeds in a spice grinder, pulsing just until coriander is just broken; do not overprocess. (The spices can also be crushed using a heavy cast-iron skillet.) Transfer the seeds to a small bowl, and toss with the salt and pepper. Dip one side of the salmon into the spice mixture to coat heavily. Repeat with all of the salmon squares. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Do not add any oil. Place the salmon squares, spice-side down, into the pan. Cook until the spices are dry, golden and toasted, about 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the pan to the oven; remove when salmon is just cooked through, about 30 seconds. Transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter, and skewer with toothpicks. Serve warm. Makes 2½ dozen.
