Eat the Seasons… March
Salmon Tagine
This dish is best cooked in a Tagine Pot, but is equally as tasty being made in a normal frying pan.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- Olive Oil
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Handful of Mixed Olives (stone in)
- 2 tsp Harissa
- 4 Anchovy Fillets
- 700g Passata
- 1 Small Preserved Lemon
- 1 Good Pinch of Saffron
- 4 x 120g Salmon Fillets, skin off
- 1 tbsp Rose Water
- 1 tin of Chickpeas
- 400g Spinach
- 1 Bunch Coriander, chopped
Method:
- Put a large frying pan or a high sided roasting tray on the hob over a medium heat.
- Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and squash in the unpeeled garlic through a garlic crusher.
- Stir in the olives, harissa, anchovies, rose water, chickpeas and passata, and tear in the preserved lemon.
- Cover the saffron with a splash of boiling water.
- Season each fish fillet with salt and pepper and place in the sauce, then sprinkle the fish with the saffron.
- Put a lid on the pan, or cover with foil and leave to simmer fast until cooked through (roughly 8 minutes) – if easier pop the dish into the oven at around 180 degrees.
- Take the Salmon out of the pan and put to one side.
- Fold the spinach through the hot sauce until just cooked (a minute or two).
- Put 1 salmon fillet on each plate and spoon the tagine sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with coriander leaves.
Serve this dish with purple sprouting broccoli and steamed kale.
Enjoy!
