Nuts for Life - Pine nut crusted salmon recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 x 120g salmon fillets, skin off
  • 100g freekeh
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup parmesan
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch parsley, leaves picked and stems finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 bunch dill, roughly chopped
  • 200g baby cucumbers, halved lengthways and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup currants
  • 1/4 cup smoked almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat Greek yoghurt

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange salmon fillets on tray.
  2. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Boil freekeh for 15-18 minutes or until tender. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together 1 grated garlic clove, breadcrumbs, parmesan, pine nuts, parsley stems, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to bring crumb mixture together.
  4. Generously top salmon fillets with the crumb mixture and gently press into place. Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crumb is golden.
  5. Meanwhile, add parsley leaves, dill, baby cucumbers, red onion, currants, and smoked almonds to a large bowl. Add half the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
  6. Stir together yoghurt, remaining grated garlic and remaining lemon juice in a small bowl.
  7. Spread garlic yoghurt over a serving platter. Top with freekeh tabouli and salmon fillet.

Tips

Using a smoked nut is a fun and interesting way to add both flavour and texture to a dish.
