  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.

  • Fact

    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.

Disappointing. This is way too lemony and I love lemon. The sumac is lemony and adding the lemon zest and juice is overload, you can't even taste the salmon. Maybe ditch the sumac, which would be a shame as its a lovely purple colour, and just use the lemon. Or if you have sumac in the cupboard ditch the lemon. Certainly don't buy sumac. I do like the idea of an interesting topping and the nuts bring texture so I think it's worth persevering. Just a shame this recipe wasn't tried before publishing.

Quick and simple to make, with fantastic flavours. Found the lemon slightly over powering so would perhaps reduce the quantity next time, but other than that it's a nice little dish!
