Loved this. I got a 380g piece of salmon, a long half recipe, but made more or less all of the recipe (spices and sauce). Ed said it would like have liked more of the sauce!

Marinating the salmon for two hours (I'm pretty sure less time would do) makes this dish not suitable for a weeknight. But it might be quite good for a company dish. You could make the sauce ahead up to the point where you add the salmon. Then reheat and add the salmon just before serving.

Confusing instructions, but the final result was quite nice. A complex sauce is prepared while chunks of salmon marinade in red pepper flakes, garlic, and salt. The salmon chunks are then tossed into the sauce, and 5 minutes later you are ready to serve.

The confusing part was that many of the spice amounts were listed as "1 x 1/2 tsp", and it wasn't clear if this meant 1/2 tsp, or 1 1/2 tsp. I went with the smaller amount, and found the sauce to be pleasantly spiced.

There was a bit too much sauce for the amount of salmon, I served it with quinoa, but a crusty bread might have been better for sopping it up.

My first attempt at an Ottolenghi recipe, and I will certainly seek out more.
