Yum-yum aioli mussels
Here’s a Sunday lunch idea for you.
There’s just something special when you mix cucumber yogurt (taztsiki) and salmon. The strong, distinctive flavors of the salmon coupled with the light, fresh & tangy taste of the cucumber yogurt - amazing.
This recipe is great for a lazy weekend lunch, and it only takes 15 minutes to prepare.
What you need (serves 4)
- 600 grams of salmon steak
- Fresh Turkish bread
- 1 cup of natural, unsweetened yogurt
- Juice from a quarter of lemon
- Half a cucumber
- Fresh basil & mint leafs
What do do
- Cut the salmon into strips, pan fry them in a tiny bit of olive oil on medium heat, 2-3 minutes per side. Season well.
- Finely dice the cucumber, basil and mint. Mix it in with the natural, unsweetened yogurt with a dash of olive oil and lemon juice. Season.
- Warm the Turkish bread up in an oven or pan. Butter or lightly drizzle olive oil if desired.
- Assemble bread, salmon and cucumber yogurt.
Pour yourself a glass of chardonnay. Enjoy!
