Our spiced salmon (opens in new tab) is a vibrant fish dish that is perfect for feeding a crowd. The earthy spices cut through the richness of the salmon to give a really well balanced result. We’ve used ras el hanout and sumac to add flavour to this whole side of salmon. Ras el hanout is a spice mixture that is often used is Middle Eastern cuisine. The name translates as ‘top of the shop’, as the spices used were traditionally on the pricey end. Sumac is a tangy and citrusy spice that is used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. It works so well with salmon, but you can also use it to season grilled chicken. This spiced salmon is perfect when paired with some simple, herby new potatoes and a green salad. It can be served hot or cold, making it a great option for dinner parties and buffets. For more ideas with salmon, have a look at our salmon recipe collection.
