Za’atar salmon and blood orange salad

Have you already tried za’atar? It’s one of the most popular spices today and it’s pretty addicting, so look out! You can add it to oil, meat or vegetables. Even with goat’s cheese, yoghurt vinaigrette and scrambled eggs. A meaningful addition to your spice cabinet.
The following recipe for the salmon salad is extremely simple, just marinate the salmon in olive oil with za’atar, orange juice, garlic, salt and pepper. In the meantime, combine kale with chicory and sweet blood oranges (they’re really great with fish). Then add the salmon, drizzle with the citrusy za’atar dressing and you have a dish ready in 15 minutes. Very healthy and so delicious. It was pretty much the best thing we ate all week, try it and you will see!
