Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets

  • 1 large slice sourdough bread (or 2 medium)

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley

  • 1 clove garlic

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Yogurt Base:

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

For the Veggies:

  • 2 courgettes (zucchini)

  • 2 spring onions

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Salmon: Pat dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel.

  2. Make the Sourdough Crust: In a food processor, pulse the sourdough, parsley, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic until it forms a coarse crumb mixture.

  3. Crust & Chill: Pat the crumb mixture onto the salmon fillets and place them in the fridge while you prep everything else.

  4. Make the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mash the feta into the yogurt and mix well.

  5. Prepare the Veggies: Use a vegetable peeler to create zucchini ribbons. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.

  6. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  7. Sauté the Veggies: While the salmon cooks, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and let them slightly char. Toss in the zucchini ribbons and cook until softened. Stir in the fresh basil and let it wilt.

  8. Assemble Your Plate: Spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture onto a plate. Top with the warm chickpea and zucchini mixture, then place the crispy salmon fillet on top. Finish with extra Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.

A Few Extra Tips:

  • No air fryer? Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the salmon is flaky.

  • Leftovers? Use the salmon in a salad or wrap for an easy next-day lunch!
