Salmon with Tahini Sauce

Salmon is very low in saturated fat and a good source of protein. It's also one of the best sources of many vitamins like B12. Salmon is also abundant in potassium and other nutrients like iron and vitamin D.

The ingredients below will accommodate two servings (about 16-20 ounces).

Ingredients

Salmon
3 medium sized potatoes (peeled and sliced into circular shapes; 1/2 inch thickness)
1 onion (sliced in circular shape; 1/2 inch thickness)
1/2 cup of tahini sauce
1 lemon
1 1/2 cups of water
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of smoked or regular paprika
1/2 tsp of ground 7 spices (this is a blend of spices typically found in Middle Eastern markets)
1 tsp of rosemary
1/2 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of ground black pepper
1/4 cup of olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

First, marinate the salmon with olive oil on it, salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary. Then, begin to prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 2

Using a blender or a mixer, mix the ingredients for the sauce together by adding the tahini sauce, water, salt, black pepper, squeezed lemon juice, ground 7 spices and cumin.

Step 3

Using a baking pan, first add the olive oil and add the sliced potatoes and onions. Then, lay the salmon on top of the potatoes and onions. Now, pour the sauce mixture on top of the salmon and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Optional: for crispier salmon, uncover and broil the top of the tray for about 5 minutes.
