Ingredients
- A side of salmon (1 1/2 — 2lbs)

To serve:

Directions
- Preheat oven to 250°F/120°C (Yes! That’s low but trust me. Your salmon will not be overcooked and totally Instagram worthy
- Place salmon skin side down on a baking sheet.
- Combine spices, garlic, olive oil, date syrup and half the lemon juice and zest in a small bowl.
- Pour over salmon, spread evenly using a silicone brush. Roast fish for 25–30 minutes until internal temperature registers 120°F/48°C.
- Serve warm. I like to sprinkle it with flake salt to finish.
- Combine yogurt sauce ingredients while fish is roasting, or up to one day ahead. Sprinkle with sumac and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
