Dukkah Crusted Salmon



This is one of those blessed weeknight meals that take less than 5 minutes to prepare. All you need to do while the salmon is roasting is open a bottle of wine and make a crisp green salad or steam some green and dinner is done. Dukkah is a spice blend usually made with crushed nuts, sesame seeds, cumin and other spices. You can substitute with sumac, zaatar or chopped fresh herbs and lemon zest.  By double lining the roasting dish with foil and baking paper, cleaning up takes less time than preparing!



















2 fillets of salmon
1 tbspn olive oil
5 tbspn dukkah
salt

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line a baking dish with foil and baking paper. Brush salmon with oil. Sprinkle dukkah on a plate and press salmon into the dukkah. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover salmon with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake for a further 10 minutes or until cooked to your liking (time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillet).
