Sesame Crusted Salmon

Ingredients:

  • 4 x 6oz Salmon portions

  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce

  • ½ tsp Ginger - freshly grated

  • Juice of one Lemon

  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil

  • ½ cup Sesame Seeds (we like mixed)

  • 1 tsp Sea Salt

  • ½ Tbsp Butter

  • 1 Tbsp Liquid Honey

Directions:

  1. Mix soy sauce, ginger, lemon juice and sesame oil in a bowl.

  2. Place fillets into a freezer bag with a zipper closure, and pour the marinade in on top of fillets. Release as much air as you can and seal the bag. Place in your refrigerator for at least an hour to marinate.

  3. In a shallow pan or plate, mix together the sea salt and sesame seeds and spread out to cover the bottom of the dish.

  4. Put butter and honey into a small dish and melt in the microwave for about 15 - 20 seconds.

  5. Remove the salmon from the marinade and blot dry with paper towel.

  6. Lightly brush each fillet with the butter-honey mixture.

  7. Gently lay the fillets on top of the sesame seed mixture and press.

  8. Place the sesame crusted fillets onto an oiled broiler pan and broil on medium-high heat for about 8 minutes - or until salmon flakes easily.

  9. Watch the fillets to be sure that the sesame seeds do not burn.

  10. Serve immediately - pairs perfectly with salad or rice pilaf.
