Serves:

This quick pan-fried salmon meal is spiced with cumin and served with a zingy dressing of chermoula on potatoes.

Serves 4

Ingredients

For chermoula:

• 2 tbsp coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp continental parsley, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 clove garlic, finely diced
• 1/2 tsp mild paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice

• 600g potatoes, peeled
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 salmon fillets (125g each)
• 100g baby spinach

Method

For chermoula, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Season well.

Cut potatoes in a 1.5cm dice, place in a large pot of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 6 minutes until just cooked. Drain and set aside.

Combine cumin and sea salt in a bowl. Coat salmon fillets all over with mixture. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large non-stick frypan and cook salmon skin-side down for 3 minutes over medium heat. Turn and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Wipe out pan and heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add drained potatoes and cook, turning often, until golden and crispy, approx. 6-8 minutes. Remove to a bowl lined with paper towel.

Add crispy potatoes to chermoula mix and toss to coat. Divide spinach leaves between four serving plates, top with potatoes and salmon.
