Dukkah is a heady Egyptian nut and spice mix. When tossed with puffed amaranth—a cereal commonly found in health food markets—it makes a deeply flavorful crust for salmon fillets.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (75g) puffed amaranth
- 2 tablespoons store-bought dukkah
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 4 (200g) salmon fillets, skin removed
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 long green chilli, thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 4 cups (50g) snow pea tendrils
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers (260g), thinly sliced
- Chervil sprigs, to serve
Instructions

Place the chilli, extra oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the snow pea tendrils and cucumber and toss to coat. Divide the salmon and salad between serving plates and top with chervil to serve.
