Spiced Salmon with Almond ‘Hummus’

Spiced Salmon with Almond ‘Hummus’

This is one of my favourite types of dinners. Beautifully spiced fish, creamy sauce and salad leaves. Simple and so good.


I’ve been buying frozen wild Alaskan salmon from the guys at Fish & Co in Sydney.


It’s expensive but worth it.


Love how it has so much more flavour than farmed salmon.


And I should mention the spice mix.


I call it the ‘Stonesoup spice’ because it’s my favourite go-to blend.


I used to call it my ‘secret’ spice. But since I’m sharing the recipe with you here I had to change the name ?


It’s just equal parts ground cumin, coriander and smoked paprika.


I’m happy to share. It can be your secret blend too ;)
