Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the za'atar elements, and pat the salmon dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the salmon. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.

Stir in the pomegranate molasses and the rest of the za'atar flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the baby potatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
