Dukkah Crusted Pomegranate Marinated Cod

[heart_this] · Apr 7, 2008 · 34 Comments

Dukkah Crusted Pomegranate Marinated Cod

I made some dukkah a while ago and I have been wanting to try making a dukkah crusted meat dish with it. I was thinking that I could use fish or chicken or lamb. In the end I found some nice looking cod and went with that. I was going to just do the simple cod with dukkah crust but I found some pomegranate molasses when grocery shopping. I had been looking for the pomegranate molasses for a while and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I decided to marinate the cod in the pomegranate molasses along with some lemon juice and honey. The dukkah crusted pomegranate marinated cod turned out pretty good. The dukkah fried up nice and golden brown and added a really nice crispy and crunchy texture. The flavours of the pomegranate marinade came through and went well with the flavours of the dukkah. I would imagine that serving the fish with just one of the dukkah crust or the pomegranate marinade would be good but they went well together. Some of the dukkah crust came off when frying so I sprinkled the fish with some more before serving. I served the dukkah crusted cod with a simple and fresh tabbouleh .

    I should not look at your blog when I’m at work and have forgotten to bring dinner. (Though I did make some nutella bread that is rapidly being orked by the cow-orkers.)

    I’ve never heard of dukkah, but now that I know what it is, this looks even better! I’m about to try a pomegranate dish as well and I love the combination with nuts (dukkah). I was planning on a pomegranate chicken stew but you may have altered my plans sir.

    This dukkah dish looks fabulous and I’ve been wanting to make this for quite sometime now. I especially like your addition of pomegranate molasses, another something I’ve been wanting to work with.
    I need to try cook with all of these now…what am I waiting for?!

    More dukkah 🙂

    Pairing it with fish is a good idea- it doesn’t take long to cook, so you don’t have to worry about the dukkah getting burnt. Looks fab!

    I don’t think I can get pomegranate molasses here, just finding normal molasses is difficult enough, but the fish looks lovely.

    That looks sooo good Kevin! I wonder if you’d like egging it before adding the dukkah to prevent fallout 🙂

    That sounds like a fantastic dinner and a terrific mix of flavors. I’ve never run across pom molasses, but I’d be all over this if I did. The dukkah, aside from being fun to say out loud, also sounds like it would really make this fantastic. Very nice meal!
