duca crusted salmon is a simple flavorful dish I love to make when I want something healthy but tasty it combines salmon fililelets with a coating made from duka a Middle Eastern spice mix duca usually contains nuts seeds and spices like coriander cumin and sesame seeds this blend adds a crunchy nutty texture and warm earthy flavors to the salmon when I prepare the salmon I press the duca mixture onto the fish before cooking it the crust forms a tasty aromatic layer that makes the dish stand out without needing heavy sauces i like how this spice mix balances the richness of the fish with the spice mixes crunch and flavor it’s easy to make full of taste and feels satisfying without being complicated the ingredients contain salmon fililelets pistachio duca olive oil spray steamed asparagus to serve saffron rice to serve and lemon wedges to serve first sprinkle the salmon fililelets with pistachio duca press it gently so it sticks well to the fish next heat a large non-stick pan over mediumigh heat once hot spray the pan lightly with oil to keep the salmon from sticking cook the salmon for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side this gives me a medium cook but watch it closely and stop once it reaches how you like it finally serve the salmon with the rice and asparagus a few lemon wedges on the side add a fresh burst of flavor roasted or steamed vegetables work great as a side dish i often serve asparagus or green beans lightly tossed in olive oil and lemon juice their crispness contrasts nicely with the crust a simple couscous or quinoa salad with chopped cucumber cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs like mint or parsley adds a refreshing element you can also try mashed sweet potatoes their subtle sweetness pairs well with the spices in the duca for a heartier option a wild rice peeloff with toasted almonds and cranberries offers nuttiness that echoes the duca crust’s flavor profile i like a cool creamy sauce to balance the spices a yogurt-based sauce with lemon zest garlic and chopped fresh dill works perfectly you can also mix in a bit of tahini for a richer texture fresh herbs add brightness sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley over the top just before serving a wedge of lemon on the side helps brighten the entire dish for some extra crunch roasted pine nuts or extra duca sprinkled on top can deepen the texture and flavor one big mistake is applying the duca too thickly if you layer it on too heavily it can fall off during cooking or burn before the salmon is done i usually press a thin even layer to keep the crust intact and balanced another trap is not drying the salmon before crusting excess moisture prevents the ducka from sticking well and can make the crust soggy patting the fish dry with paper towels fixes that i store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh it lasts well in the fridge for up to 2 days i find that wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in the container helps prevent dryness to conclude I love how Duca crusted salmon brings together bold flavors and a simple cooking process the crunch from the duca adds great texture while the spices give the fish a unique aromatic touch making this dish feel satisfying because it’s easy to prepare you don’t need fancy ingredients just good quality salmon and a fresh duca blend if you want to try something new but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen this recipe fits the bill perfectly it works well for a quick weekn night dinner or when you want to impress guests i usually serve it with something light like a simple salad or steamed vegetables it balances the spice and keeps the meal fresh this recipe has become one of my favorites because it’s reliable and delicious every time give it a go and you might find it becomes part of your regular cooking too
