Sesame Salmon

Recipe Ingredients

1		Shallot - finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Soy sauce
1 teaspoon	5ml	Sesame oil
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Sherry
1 tablespoon	15ml	Brown sugar
1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	White sesame seeds
1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	Black sesame seeds
4		Salmon filets - (4 to 5 oz ea)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the shallot, soy sauce, sesame oil, Dijon, Sherry and brown sugar in a small bowl. Evenly coat all sides of the filets with the mixture.

Combine the white and black sesame seeds in a bowl and dredge the salmon through the seeds to completely coat.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy oven-proof skillet. When the oil is hot, place the salmon skin-side up in the pan. Cook the filets until the sesame seeds are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Turn the salmon over, then place the skillet in the oven. Bake the salmon until it feels firm to the touch, another 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets and your preference for doneness.
