METHOD

Step 1

To make your dukkah - Place the sesame seeds in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until toasted and golden brown. Add pistachios, coriander, cumin and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Stir in the salt and set aside to cool. This makes more than you require for this recipe. Store the remainder in an airtight container . Great on top of salads or vegetables!

Step 2

Preheat oven to 200° C fan forced. Brush salmon with olive oil on both sides. Place onto a baking paper lined oven tray. Spoon pistachio dukkah onto the top of each portion of salmon. Bake for 14 minutes or until cooked to liking.
