Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beet Muhammara

    In a food processor, combine cooked beets, toasted walnuts, garlic, cumin, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adjusting seasoning as necessary.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the Ora King salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fennel

    While the salmon is cooking, thinly shave the fennel bulb using a mandoline or sharp knife. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spread a generous amount of the beet muhammara. Place the cooked salmon on top and garnish with shaved fennel and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. Finish with toasted walnuts as a topping.
