Ingredients

  • Salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions1.5 lb
  • Cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets1 large head
  • Olive oil3 tbsp
  • Sumac2 tsp
  • Lemon, juiced1 medium
  • Tahini0.25 cup
  • Water3 tbsp
  • Parsley, roughly chopped0.5 cup

Method

  1. 1

    Prep the tray

    On a cutting board, cut the salmon into four portions, cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets, juice the lemon, and roughly chop the parsley.

  2. 2

    Roast the cauliflower

    Heat the oven to 220°C. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tbsp olive oil, sumac, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of black pepper; roast, turning once.

    14 min

    Tip: Leave space between florets so they roast instead of steaming.

  3. 3

    Roast the salmon

    Push the cauliflower aside and set the salmon portions on the rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with the remaining olive oil and half the lemon juice, then roast at 220°C until just opaque and flaky.

    14 min

    Tip: Check thinner portions early; they may finish before the thicker pieces.

  4. 4

    Whisk the tahini

    In a small bowl, whisk the tahini, water, and remaining lemon juice; loosen it with a little more water if needed.

    2 min
  5. 5

    Taste and serve

    Taste the tahini dressing in the small bowl and adjust with 1/4 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper; drizzle over the salmon and cauliflower and finish with parsley.
