Multi-Seed Crusted Salmon with Garlic-Herb Yogurt Sauce highlights the nutty, earthy flavours while incorporating aromatic spices. This dish is elegant yet simple, with a crispy crust and bright, creamy accompaniments. Perfect for a dinner party or a healthy weeknight meal!

 

Ingredients:

Garlic-Herb Yogurt Sauce

- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or vegan alternative)  
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped  
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced  
- 1 tsp lemon juice  
- 1 small garlic clove, grated  
- Salt and pepper to taste  

Seed-Crusted Salmon

- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or off)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (or olive oil for binding)  
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for subtle sweetness)  
- Olive oil (for cooking)  
- Lemon wedges (for serving)  

Optional Sides:
- Roasted asparagus or broccolini  
- Quinoa or herbed couscous  

Instructions

1. Prep the Salmon:
   - Pat salmon fillets dry. Brush the top (skinless side) with Dijon mustard (or olive oil) and a drizzle of honey (if using).  

2.  Coat the Salmon:
   - Press the mustard-coated side of each fillet into the F N Good Food Everything But The Bagel seasoning, ensuring an even, thick crust.

4. Cook the Salmon:
   - Pan-Seared Method: 
     - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon crust-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden. Flip carefully and cook skin-side down for 3–4 minutes until medium-rare.  
   - Oven-Baked Method:
     - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon, skin side down, on a parchment-lined tray. Bake for 12–15 minutes.  

5. Make the Sauce:
   - Stir together yogurt, dill, chives, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.  

6. Serve:
   - Plate salmon with a dollop of yogurt sauce, lemon wedges, and your chosen sides.

Vegetarian
Replace salmon with thick-cut halloumi slices or crispy tofu steaks. Coat and pan-fry using the same method.  

Tips
- Extra Crispy Crust: Add 1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs to the seed mix.  
- Spice Boost: Add ½ tsp smoked paprika to the seed blend.  
- Meal Prep: Prep the yogurt sauce ahead for quick assembly.  

Serving Ideas
- Grain Bowl: Flake salmon over quinoa with roasted veggies, avocado, and sauce.  
- Salad Topper: Serve chilled over arugula with shaved fennel and radishes.  
- Appetizer: Slice into bite-sized pieces and skewer with cucumber rounds.  

This recipe transforms humble seeds into a show-stopping crust, while the yogurt sauce adds a refreshing counterpoint. 

Enjoy!
