Elevate Your Salmon Game with Dukkah
Are you tired of the same old salmon recipes? Look no further! With a simple dusting of dukkah, a flavorful Middle Eastern spice and nut mixture, you can take your salmon fillets to the next level.
What is Dukkah?
Dukkah is a traditional Egyptian condiment made from a blend of spices, nuts, and seeds. It’s commonly used as a dip, but it’s also an amazing addition to grilled meats, vegetables, and even popcorn!
Sourcing Dukkah
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try making your own dukkah at home. However, if you’re short on time, you can find it at gourmet grocery stores, Middle Eastern markets, or online retailers specializing in international spices.
