Baked Salmon with Pomegranate and Herb Salad

Baked Salmon with Pomegranate and Herb Salad

4 Servings

45 mins

Easy


WILD SALMON is full of nutrients, including Omega 3. This dish can be made ahead and assembled on the day. It is a great main for a dinner party or if you are looking for a simple dinner that requires little effort and tastes delicious!

Want a vegan alternative - try over baked sweet potato or a cauliflower steak.

4 pieces of wild salmon (or a side of a salmon) - average 150g per piece

1/2 cup coconut yoghurt (or thick greek yoghurt)

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup almonds

1/2 cup grapes

Seeds of 1 pomegranate

Small bunch of dill 

Small bunch of flat leaf parsley (opt.)

Salt/Pepper

Olive Oil

Spinach or rocket - to Serve

Preheat the oven to 120 C

Place the salmon on a lined baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and cracked pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 mins until just cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside (if making in advance, you could do this the day before)


In a bowl mix together the lemon zest with the thick coconut (or greek) yoghurt and a lightly season with salt.

Note - if you yoghurt is a little runny, then you may need to strain in a muslin to give more of a 'labneh' feel to the yoghurt. Mix the salt with the yoghurt before straining and add in the lemon zest afterwards.


In another bowl place your pomegranate seeds. Finely chop your herbs (removing the thick stems), cut your almonds lengthways into slithers and place both into the bowl. Take your grapes and cut in half lengthways and then again into quarters. Add to your herb mix and toss together gently.


To assemble place a piece of salmon onto a plate (or place them next to each other on a serving dish). Evenly spoon over your yoghurt mix and then top with the herb salad.


Delicious served with a sweet potato side, or side of your choice.


For a vegan alternative - use baked sweet potatoe or a cauliflower steak instead of the salmon


Enjoy!
