Chermoula Salmon with Sumac Cauliflower Salad
Ingredients
Cauliflower Salad
- ½ cauliflower finely chopped
- ½ red onion cut into wedges
- Sumac seeds (½ tsp sumac, ¼ tsp poppy seeds, ¼ tsp cumin seeds)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 courgette peeled into ribbons
- 50 g baby spinach
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
Salmon
- 250 g salmon fillet cut into 2 pieces
- Chermoula spices (1 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp ground coriander, ¼ tsp smoked paprika, ⅛ tsp allspice, ½ tsp turmeric)
- ½ tsp oil
To Serve
- 50 g grapes halved
- 75 g plain yoghurt
Instructions
- Before you start, preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). Preheat BBQ grill to medium-high (if using).
- Prep cauliflower and onion and toss on a lined oven tray with sumac seeds and salt. Roast for about 20 minutes, until tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Pat salmon dry and remove any remaining pin bones. Cut into 2 even pieces. Season with salt and coat flesh in chermoula, avoiding the skin.
- Heat oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook salmon, skin side down, for about 3 minutes, until skin is crispy. Use a fish slice to press on fleshy side of salmon to ensure all skin is touching the pan. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Alternatively, cook salmon on BBQ.
- Prep courgette. In a medium bowl, toss cooked cauliflower with remaining salad ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Prep grapes.
- Serve cauliflower salad with salmon, yoghurt and grapes.
