Tuesday: Dukkah-Crusted Roasted Salmon
What if the perfect recipe to make you fall in love with fish were as savoury as it is quick to make? The key to the success of this salmon dish is dukkah, a Middle Eastern condiment. This spice and sesame seed mixture forms a crust that roasts marvellously, perfectly preserving that melt-in-your-mouth salmon. Serve this dish with a yummy grilled vegetable salsa.
Wednesday: Panzanella Salad with Legumes and Chicken
Typical of Italy, panzanella is a stale bread and tomato-based salad. This version, which we prepare with canned legumes and marinated artichoke hearts as well, is also ideal for using up leftover chicken. Garlic croutons are added at the last minute so they can soften a little while absorbing the moistness of the other ingredients. This is a budget-friendly balanced meal that’s perfect to avoid waste. How about having it on a regular basis?
