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
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange salmon fillets on tray.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir together yoghurt, remaining grated garlic and remaining lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Spread garlic yoghurt over a serving platter. Top with freekeh tabouli and salmon fillet.
