Using your stick blender puree until creamy and well combined.
Stir in extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Taste and season with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
Combine spice and 1 tablespoon more of olive oil in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Toss in salmon to coat with the spiced oil.
Heat a medium frying pan on a medium high heat. Add salmon and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking.
Divide hummus between two plates. Top with hot salmon. Wipe out the pan and toast the almonds in the pan for a minute or until starting to brown. Scatter almonds over the fish. Finish with salad on the side.
