This recipe has some of my favorite food components - salmon (treated like ceviche), prawns, avocado, labneh and of course dukkah. I can't wait to give it a try with either Traditional or Smoky Hot Oregon Dukkah! I found this amazing recipe on www.adelaidenow.com.au - so creative!Avocado Salmon Tart with Dukkah Prawns

Combine salmon in a bowl with lemon juice, capers, dill, salt and pepper and refrigerate for at least an hour.
In a bowl combine together the avocado, egg, labneh and 1 tablespoon of dukkah.

Coat prawns with remaining dukkah. Heat olive oil in a pan and pan-fry the prawns until cooked through.

Chef Watch:
"Use sushi-grade salmon if possible. You'll notice the smoother texture when you eat it,"chef Hassan M'Souli says.
"Don't overmarinate the salmon. You want it just long enough that the lemon changes the salmon's texture to something softer."
"Choose just-ripe avocado. You don't want it too hard as it will be difficult to use and not taste as great, too soft and it doesn't hold its shape."
