Tahini herb baked salmon with pomegranate and walnut

Greek 20 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook


  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.
