Pistachio nut-crusted salmon on braai

Pistachio nut-crusted salmon cooked on a braai (South African barbecue) sounds delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to help you prepare this flavorful dish:

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup shelled pistachio nuts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your braai (barbecue) to medium-high heat.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the pistachio nuts until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a textured crust.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a paste-like consistency.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on a clean plate or cutting board.
  5. Spread the pistachio mixture evenly on the flesh side of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere the crust.
  6. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the preheated braai grill. Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The crust should be golden brown, and the salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  7. Carefully remove the salmon fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  8. Serve the pistachio nut-crusted salmon hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish. It pairs well with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

  • 12 shell-on mozambican prawns
  • 4 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 limes or lemons
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 a bunch of fresh coriander
  • 1 fresh red chilli

  • 2 clove of garlic
  • a dash of soy sauce
  • 1 stem fresh lemon grass ( if you can get it )

Directions

  2. Mix the sweet chilli sauce, the zest and juice of 1 lime and the fish sauce together in a tray. Pick the coriander leaves and put to one side, then finely slice the stalks and add them to the tray. Deseed and finely slice the chilli and peel and finely grate the ginger, then scatter into tray. Crush in the garlic (and lemongrass if you have it) , then give everything a really good mix up. Add the racks of prawns, then turn over a few times in the marinade to coat really well. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
  3. When you’re ready, preheat the braai. Cook the racks on a hot braai for 4 – 5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning every 30 seconds and basting with the remaining marinade.
  4. Once cooked, remove to a serving board, squeeze over the juice from the remaining lime/lemon, sprinkle with the reserved coriander leaves, then serve with a fresh green salad, or as part of a barbecue spread.
