This dish takes two favorites — crispy-crusted salmon and smoky jollof — and lets them share a plate. The millet cooks in a light tomato-pepper base the way jollof rice does, just with a lighter grain, while the salmon gets a crushed peanut crust that bakes up golden in the oven.

We tagged this fitness__athlete_nutrition and high-protein because salmon brings both a strong protein count and omega-3 fats to the table, and the peanut crust adds a bit more protein on top of that. It's a common post-workout dinner choice when you want a plate that still feels indulgent.

A squeeze of lime over the finished plate cuts through the richness nicely.
