Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium zucchini spiralized into thin ribbons
- 1/4 cup honey or date syrup for authentic Lebanese flavor
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses key for tartness and depth
- 1/4 cup pistachios roughly chopped, for crunch
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water for thickening
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves chopped, for garnish
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain crispiness; microwaving will soften the salmon. Make-Ahead: You can prep the zucchini ribbons and sauce mixture ahead of time, then cook the salmon and combine just before serving. Variations: Substitute salmon with cubed chicken breast or firm tofu for a different protein. For extra sweetness, drizzle with additional honey before serving. Serving Suggestion: This dish is fantastic over a bed of fluffy rice or as a unique topping for vanilla ice cream.
