Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Preheat BBQ to mediumhigh (if using).
  2. Prep & cook cauliflower salad. Toss cauliflower and onion on a lined oven tray with 1/2 tsp salt and cauliflower spices. Roast in oven for about 20 minutes, until tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Prep salmon. Pat salmon dry and remove any remaining pin bones. Cut into 2 even pieces. Season with salt and toss in a bowl with chermoula spices and second measure of lemon juice.
  4. Cook salmon. Heat 1/4 tsp oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook salmon, skin side down, for about 3 minutes, until skin is crispy. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes for medium (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ.
  5. Prep garlic yoghurt. In a bowl, combine garlic and yoghurt with a pinch of salt and mix well.
