This flavor-packed, low-carb meal brings the vibrant spices of the Middle East into your kitchen with ease. Salmon fillets are rubbed in a warm shawarma spice blend and oven-roasted until tender, then served over a creamy yogurt-tahini sauce and paired with a refreshing cucumber, tomato, and fresh herb salad. Every bite offers a satisfying balance of richness, crunch, and brightness—without any grains or gluten. Whether you're following a grain-free lifestyle or simply craving a deeply nourishing meal, this dish is as grounding as it is energizing. Serve it for a quick weeknight dinner or a relaxed summer gathering.
