Sweet Orange Salmon

This salmon recipe comes together really quickly, and it packs a lot of flavor! I served it over some basmati rice that I mixed peas into at the end.

½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Cooking spray
