Halibut with Dukkah
If you’re searching for an easy yet delicious fish dish, look no further. These salmon fillets feature an irresistibly fragrant dukkah crust, served alongside an aromatic fennel and orange salad – this midweek dinner makes the ideal combination of deliciousness with quick preparation times! Also perfect when entertaining guests!
Make Dukkah using 28g/5 Tbsp toasted pistachio kernels combined with two teaspoons of ground cumin, three tablespoons of roasted coriander seed, one teaspoon of paprika and 1/4 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper (or Urfa Biber). Mix in three tablespoons of finely chopped parsley if desired.
Preheat the oven to 200oC/180oC fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Use a sharp knife to score each salmon fillet skin-side before placing skin-side down onto the tray with skin side up, pressing with one tablespoon of dukkah mixture before seasoning with salt and pepper. Bake for 12 minutes or until just cooked and the flesh flakes easily when pressed with a fork, resting 5 minutes before resting each fillet with remaining dukkah before finishing with resting each fillet before topping with more dukkah before resting before plating with salad of fennel and orange salad leaves!

We love this fish recipe that features lemon, orange zest, thyme and basil as an easy, healthy and fast fish dish that also works perfectly as part of an elegant dinner party menu. Pair this fish dish with radicchio, romaine and feta for the best experience; though cod is often preferred.
Miso Salmon
Miso is a Japanese fermented soybean paste packed with umami, the delicious umami flavor found in food that adds depth of flavor. Plus, miso boasts healthy probiotic bacteria for digestive support! Miso’s versatility means it can be used as an ingredient in salad dressing, sauces and marinades alike.
This recipe for miso and sake marinated salmon fillets makes an elegant weeknight dinner, or can even serve guests! Simply coat each fillet in miso and sake for a quick marinade, bake to tender perfection, then pair with simple sides such as broccoli florets or blanched snow peas to complete this elegant dish.
To prepare this dish, you will need skinless salmon filets (leaving the skin on is fine), miso paste, red or white rice vinegar, brown sugar and sesame oil – be sure to use toasted sesame oil for maximum flavor! Either cooking on the stove top or in the oven is an equally great method; both methods yield delicious results when fish flakes easily with a fork! Serve over jasmine rice with green vegetables such as roasted broccoli or sauteed spinach as a side dish!
Teriyaki Salmon
Homemade teriyaki sauce is the star of this simple salmon dish that takes just 10 minutes to prepare! Once in the oven for 12-15 minutes, your meal will be tender and flaky! Perfect for busy weeknights and sure to please guests!
Make it even simpler by cooking all of your ingredients together in one pan! This makes a quick and delicious fish dinner, ideal for busy weeknights.
Potato starch gives salmon an exceptional surface for soaking up its teriyaki sauce like a sponge. Arrowroot or tapioca also work, though low-sodium soy sauce would work just as well for gluten-free cooking options. Serve your salmon alongside rice and green vegetables such as my Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice or air fryer frozen brussels sprouts; any leftover sauce can also be brushed on to the leftover fish before garnishing with sesame seeds and green onions to add additional flavor!https://www.youtube.com/embed/IMqSu8wVWy4
