Pan Seared Salmon with Tahini and Herbs

Salmon fillets are coated in a creamy tahini yoghurt and adorned with fresh and flavourful herb-nut-sumac mix in this dish that is sensational for any dinner party. I prepared the salmon in a grill pan, but you can bake them at 150C/300F for 10 minutes or until cooked to your liking. If preferred, it can be made using a whole side of salmon or even ocean trout fillets.

 
Dressing
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Mint, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped (or nut of your choice)
  • 1 tbsp Sumac
  • 1 Small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 4x125 g Salmon fillets
  • Pomegranate seeds, to serve
  • 150 g Plain natural yoghurt
  • 3 tbsp Tahini
  • 1 Garlic clove, crushed
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly milled black pepper
  1. Place the finely chopped herbs, hazelnuts, sumac and red onion in a bowl and mix well.
  2. Place yoghurt, tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice in a bowl, mixing well to combine. Season with salt and freshly milled black pepper. Prepare this sauce an hour before using, so the flavours can meld together for a better taste.
  3. Heat a large skillet until hot. Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until just cooked. Place on a plate and let cool to room temperature.
  4. Transfer the cooled fish to a serving platter. Smear a spoonful of the tahini yoghurt over the fillet, then top with some herb mix. Serve salmon evenly scattered with some pomegranate seeds.

This must be good. I love salmon.

To answer your question in my post, lemang is traditional Malay glutinous rice cooked and wrapped in banana leaves in a bamboo tube.

Very inviting with its Middle Eastern touches - love sumac and tahini and have not used them with salmon - perhaps a little less pomegranate for me . . .

Prefiero el pescado a la carne, así que todo lo que venga de ese reino me gusta. El salmón lo he cocinado más de una vez con costra, si bien, ha sido al horno, pero más rápido en asador. Muy buena esta receta. Para mi sin cilantro por favor.
Un beso.

This sounds quite delicious. I have never seen sumac here but I guess lemon zest might do the same job.. Cheers Diane

Yeah, the key is to grill or bake "until cooked", not overcooked. That's a good reminder for me.
