Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp dried coriander and 2 tsp ground cumin.
- Place the 2 lb salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over the salmon, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the top.
- Gently rub the spices and oil into the salmon to ensure an even coating.
- Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Toss the 16 oz of broccoli florets with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- Spread the broccoli on a separate baking sheet.
- Place in the oven alongside the salmon and roast for about 10-12 minutes or until slightly crispy and tender.
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp of lemon zest, 1 tbsp of fresh dill, and 1/2 cup of fresh coriander leaves.
- Stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the 2 tbsp of sesame seeds. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the salmon and broccoli are done, remove them from the oven.
- Place a portion of the salmon on each serving plate, accompanied by the roasted broccoli.
- Drizzle the yoghurt-herb sauce generously over the salmon and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
- For an extra touch, garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- To ensure the salmon cooks evenly, bring it to room temperature before cooking.
- For a crispier texture, you can broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a pan for a few minutes to bring out their nutty flavor before sprinkling over the dish.
- Use fresh dill and coriander leaves for the sauce to enhance the flavor.
- Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving for an added zing.
This Spiced Salmon with Yoghurt-Herb Sauce is a flavorful and satisfying meal that's both healthy and easy to prepare. The combination of spices, fresh herbs, and creamy yogurt creates a harmonious balance that elevates the dish. Serve it with a side of roasted broccoli for a complete and delicious dinner option.
