“This became one of my signature dishes at The Silk Road after serving it a benefit dinner; beautiful balance between Northwest cuisine mixed with Egyptian spice, tart orange, and the richness of beurre blanc. Being from the Northwest I learned at a young age how to filet and cook salmon, and appreciate it's richness; preferably fresh sockeye or king salmon. Cut the fish at the angle, increasing the surface area, allowing a crust to form with the Dukkah. And if you're like me, leave the skin on, and make sure it get's really crispy! The blood orange sauce will break easily if not held at the right temperature; so use it fast! “ ~Chef Abraham Risho
