Ingredients 

2 snapper fillets, skinned and boned
1 tbsp coconut oil 

DUKKAH

¼ cup sesame seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp Himalaya salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg

Method 

  1. To make dukkah, roughly chop nuts and seeds. You can use a mortar and pestle or blender if you prefer a finer crumb. Transfer to bowl or jar, add remaining ingredients and combine well. (Left over dukkah can be stored in a glass jar or air tight container for two weeks).
