  • 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup diluted vinegar (equal parts white vinegar and water)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Tahini Garlic Sauce

ingredients

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 cup water (add 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking, for a thinner sauce)

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove frozen fillets from pouch and place on a foil-lined baking pan with flat sides down. Bake for 20-22 min.

  • Step 2

    MAKE PICKLED BEETS: Mix together ingredients for pickled beets and set aside.

  • Step 3

    MAKE TAHINI GARLIC SAUCE: Mix together ingredients for tahini garlic sauce and set aside.

  • Step 4

    TO MAKE ZA’ATAR CRUSTED SALMON: Next, mix together panko breadcrumbs, za’atar, parsley, lemon juice, melted butter, and black pepper. Remove salmon from oven and spoon za’atar mixture over the tops of each. Gently press down with the back of a spoon so it adheres loosely to the salmon. Place back in oven and broil for 3-5 mins. Carefully remove from the oven.
