With its delicate texture and rich flavour, salmon stands up perfectly to our ras el hanout spice blend and a hearty grain salad. Make sure the pan gets nice and hot before you drop in the salmon, skin-side down. It’s the secret to delightfully crispy skin that won’t stick!

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Boil the kettle. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with the boiled water. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. • Drain and rinse freekeh, then return to saucepan over medium heat. Add vegetable stock powder and cook, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
TIP: Freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.
• Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with ras el hanout. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Finely chop garlic, then set aside. • Pat salmon dry with paper towel (this helps the skin crisp up in the pan!), then season both sides.
• When freekeh has 5 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Remove pan from heat and add honey, gently turning salmon to coat. • In the last minute, add the butter and garlic, gently turning salmon to coat.
• While the salmon is cooking, roughly chop parsley (reserve some for garnish!). • To the saucepan with the freekeh, add roasted veggies, parsley, and a drizzle vinegar and olive oil. Gently stir to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide freekeh salad with roast veggies between plates. Top with seared salmon. • Top with a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt. • Sprinkle over reserved parsley to serve. Enjoy!
