  • Serves 4-6
  • 600g salmon fillets, diced, two-inch cubes
  • 200g firm white fish, diced (cod, hake, blossom, monkfish)
  • 2 onions
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tahini (30g)
  • Juice of 3 lemons
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 tsp nigella seeds

  • 2 green peppers, diced and seeds removed
  • 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved

In a large saucepan, sweat the onion and garlic in the olive oil over a medium heat until soft. Add the tahini, nigella seeds, cumin seeds and green peppers and cook for a further five minutes, until the peppers are just starting to soften. Add the lemon juice, diced fish and the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes over a gentle heat until the fish is opaque. Don’t overdo it though; remember that the fish will continue cooking once it’s off the heat. Gently spoon the chopped herbs through the fish before serving.
