Salmon - Crusted with Dukkah - GF

 

I have just finished watching ''The Truth about Cancer - A Global Quest '' it was such an inspiring 9 part series. For me, it was about how do people get cancer in the first place. I know there are many reason's, but lack of NUTRITION really stood out.The first thing most of the people interviewed did, when they heard they had cancer was, they removed all sugar and processed food from their diet.

Spices and herbs are not just for flavour. Many of them are for medicinal purposes. This recipe not only has that, but the Salmon is high in Omega 3 and 6.

Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids  -  our body does not produce these essential fatty acids. They are really important for us and helps reduce heart disease, maintains nerves and brain function, builds healthy cells. It comes from fatty fish like Salmon, mackerel and tuna, walnuts and flaxseeds.

Salmon - Crusted with Dukkah Recipe

Salmon - 1 kg

250 gr nuts - I used - almonds and walnuts

100 gr sesame seeds

30 gr fennel seeds

30 gr cumin seeds

30 gr coriander seeds

2 tsp lemon or lime rind - I used lime leaves that have been ground up. (I store them in the freezer)

1/2 tbsp Himalayan salt

Option - 1/2 tsp chilli flakes

1 egg whites - whisk with a fork

Method

1 - In a food processor, blend the nuts until coarse.

2 - In a heavy pan dry fry the spices  on low, stirring regularly for 2 minutes or until toasted.

3 - Place in a motor and pestle and grind until fine, add salt, add to your ground nuts.

4 - Place your fillet on a lined baking tray. Brush your salmon fillet on the inside with egg white.

5 - Sprinkle onto your egg white your dukkah and press.

6 - Place in the oven at 180 c until your salmon is cooked but still pink. This depends on the thickness. I moved my Salmon higher in the oven for colour for about 5 minutes.

Slice and serve with vegetables. I have x 3 this recipe and have stored extra of the dukkah in a jar for another day.

Measure your ingredients, ready to go.
