1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

2

Place the salmon, skin side down, in the baking tray. Drizzle over the olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.

3

To make the crust, finely chop the walnuts, parsley, coriander and mint. Mince the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon. In a small bowl, combine the tahini with the chopped walnuts, herbs, garlic, lemon zest and juice to form a thick paste. Spread this mixture evenly and thickly over the salmon, pressing down gently to adhere.

4

Bake the salmon for approx. 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden and slightly crispy. Rest for a few minutes before serving.

5

Scatter over the pomegranate seeds and serve.
