A genius way for cooking salmon by Sabrina Ghayour, nicely charred on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. We stuffed this into warm tortillas with coriander leaves, finely sliced red onion, fresh tomatoes and a dollop of yoghurt. A week night feast made in about 20 minutes. Delicious!
Wine Suggestion: Find a light, dry Alvarinho/Albariño and you’ll be a happy camper. Spain and Portugal are the likely sources but don’t forget little gems coming new areas too. For us tonight the Forrest Estate Albariño from Marlborough NZ. We suspect we’ll see much more of this grape from here in the future.
Yoghurt & Spiced Roast Salmon – serves 4
- 500g skinless salmon fillet, cut into 4 cm cubes
FOR THE MARINADE:
- 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp garlic granules
- 1 tbsp rose harissa
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- finely grated zest of 1 lime and a decent squeeze of the juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
Heat the oven as high as it will go. Don’t be nervous, our oven goes pretty high and this method worked perfectly.
Line a baking tray with paper.
Put all the marinade ingredients into a bowl, season with plenty of black pepper and maldon salt. Toss the salmon in the marinade until well coated, hands are best for this.
Spread the salmon over the lined baking tray and cook in the hot oven for 10 minutes.
