Salmon With Macadamia Herb Crumble And Tahini Sauce

Posted 2015-07-17 by Annalisa Brown ⇒ follow

Food has always been the thread that bonds our family with my mum being the instrument spearheading this bond. Since my father’s death, I’ve noticed the meals she now makes are much simpler, if indeed she feels like cooking something other than a cup of soup or a sandwich.

When she does cook she invariably ends up with enough food to feed a family and will then find herself eating the same meal 2 or 3 days straight.

She recently found a recipe in the paper adapted by Sam Angelakis whose family is one of South Australia’s leading seafood producers, Angelakis Brothers ; and said she would love to make the salmon dish but didn't want to cook something like this just for herself.

I daresay this is a common dilemma faced by many people that live alone and have to cook for one. It ultimately also raises issues of health and nutrition.

Mum cut the article out of the paper and posted it to me (she hasn’t quite mastered the art of computers or emails), and when I received her letter containing the recipe I felt compelled to make the dish on her behalf.

The next time I visit her, I’ll be sure to make the dish, so that she will finally get to taste this exquisite Salmon with Macadamia Herb Crumble and Tahini Sauce. It’s an incredibly quick and easy dish to make which is packed full of good nutrients.

Health and Nutrition can be issues for people living alone however, this Salmon with Macadamia Herb Crumble and Tahini Sauce is simple and quick to cook, making it a fantastic meal for one or two people.
