Hummus Crusted Salmon Recipe

I know I mention this in every single article I write about fish, but fish has been an acquired taste for me.  I just read through my fish recipes and it is interesting to see the progression from me stating that I don’t like fish, to “I’m not that fond of fish” to “I have come to love mild fish”. I have come up with some recipes that the whole family enjoys,  but my husband often tells me that my fish doesn’t taste “fishy”. Exactly! I view a fish recipe as a success if it doesn’t taste like fish.

But my husband loves fishy fish. So I decided to try a different angle. Instead of trying to mask the fish flavor, I would try to match the intensity with a competing, but complimentary flavor. And I decided to be really bold and pick a fish with a strong fish flavor, which meant I needed a really intense flavor to go with it.

I had some of my Traditional Hummus on hand and remembered seeing one of my friends put it on chicken. Even though I add extra garlic when I make  hummus I wanted even more flavor, so I added rosemary. The Hummus Crusted Salmon was a huge hit. My husband could taste the fish and I was able to ignore the fish and focus on the garlic and rosemary flavors. We have finally found a fish recipe compromise. I have since made it several times. You can use one of these 5 Hummus Recipes for to create a variety of flavors.

    We love salmon at our house! Good thing, too, because we have fishing friends who give us quite a lot of it. We’re always grateful to get it. Free food that tastes good and is good for you is not to be sneezed at! That having been said, we are also always glad to find a new salmon recipe. Variety is a good thing and this combo looks really tasty. Thank you for sharing it.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
