Dukkah-Crusted Salmon With Cucumber and Chilli Salad

This vibrant dukkah-crusted salmon is a wonderful example of a heart-healthy meal that doesn't compromise on texture or flavour. The crust, made from a blend of toasted puffed amaranth and aromatic dukkah spices, provides a satisfying crunch that perfectly offsets the tender, succulent fish. Paired with a zesty, cooling Lebanese cucumber salad, it offers a sophisticated balance of heat and citrus that feels light yet substantial.

Ideal for a quick weeknight supper or a restorative weekend lunch, this dish is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fresh greens. The use of mangetout tendrils and coriander adds an earthy sweetness, making it a nutritious choice for anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet. Serve it immediately while the salmon is golden and the salad is crisp for the best results.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the salmon, turning every 3–4 minutes, for 10–12 minutes or until just cooked through and the crumb is golden.
