How to Make Aquagrill S Falafel Crusted Salmon
- **Prepare the Falafel Crust:** Combine 1 cup cooked chickpeas, ½ cup cooked potato (diced), ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, ¼ cup chopped leek or green onions, and 2 tablespoons butter in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and well mixed.
- Add ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Pulse to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- **Make the Hummus:** Wipe out the food processor bowl. Add 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas, ¼ cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 clove garlic.
- Process until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover, and chill.
- **Prepare the Salad:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander, salt, and pepper.
- Add 1 cup chopped cucumber and 1 cup chopped tomato. Toss gently and chill.
- **Cook the Salmon:** Preheat broiler and set oven rack 4-6 inches below the element.
- Season salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear salmon for 1-2 minutes per side until browned.
- Spread falafel crust evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Broil for 2 minutes for medium, or 3-4 minutes for well-done, until crust is bubbly and salmon is cooked through.
- **Assemble and Serve:** Spoon hummus onto plates. Arrange salad around the hummus. Top with salmon fillets and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
