Shawarma Spiced Sheet Pan Salmon

Enjoy the taste of shawarma at home with this recipe for Shawarma Spiced Sheet Pan Salmon. While shawarma is traditionally made with lamb, chicken, or beef, which slowly turns and roasts for hours. We’ve put a simpler spin on a classic street food dish, using flavorful spices like cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, and paprika, served atop roasted cauliflower and fresh vegetables, and tahini. Serve this one-pan meal with a side of pickled vegetables, hummus, and pita for a street food inspired supper.
