½ cup MyOrganics macadamias

½ cup MyOrganics pistachios

¼ cup parsley, chopped

½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. cumin, ground
1-2 tsp. pomegranate molasses

Method

Preheat oven 180C.

To make the puree, chargrill capsicum over an open flame or place in the oven until blackened, remove skin and seeds. In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients, season to taste.
Blend nuts with salt and pepper, lemon zest, parsley and olive oil. Lay the salmon skin side down on baking paper in a baking dish. Spoon a generous amount of the nut mixture on the salmon, covering well.

Place fish in the oven at 180C until cooked to liking.

Health tip: capsicum is a rich source of vitamin C, when eating vitamin C alongside iron, the vitamin C aids iron absorption.
