Tip

Tarator and Sumac

Tarator is a Middle Eastern sauce made from walnuts, lemon juice, herbs and yogurt, and is usually eaten as a dip. Here it makes a delicious topping for salmon fillets. Sumac is a lemony-flavoured seasoning made from ground dried berries. If you can't find it, add a touch more lemon zest.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the chopped walnuts, parsley, sumac, red onion, lemon zest and juice of half the lemon. Season lightly and set aside.

  2. Put the salmon on a baking tray and roast for 12 mins, then remove, spread with the houmous and return to the oven for another 3 mins. Sprinkle over the walnut mixture and serve with the remaining lemon half to squeeze over along with couscous, pita or flatbreads, and yogurt on the side, if you like.
