Salmon with sesame seeds is a popular dish that combines salmon’s richness with sesame seeds’ nutty flavour. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that contribute to a healthy and well-balanced diet.

To create this delicious dish, use fresh salmon fillets from a reputable supplier. The quality of the salmon is crucial for a tasty and tender result. Once you have the salmon, clean and debone it properly before continuing with the recipe.

We need:

4 slices of salmon fish
1-2 dl Mirin
6 teaspoons of potato starch
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
sesame oil
3 tablespoons ginger powder
salt
sesame seeds
lemon or lime

Procedure:

Make a simple marinade by combining soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of oil, and ginger powder in a bowl. Season with salt, stir and add the potato starch. Stir again. Coat the salmon fillets in the mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Next, preheat a non-stick frying pan to high heat and add a small amount of oil. Carefully place the fillets in the pan, skin side down, and cook for about 4 minutes.

Once browned, carefully turn the fillets and cook them for another 4 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as this can dry out and lose its delicate flavour. Turn off the heat, add the Mirin, and cook for a while. Sprinkle the finished salmon slices with toasted sesame seeds. Once you’ve cooked the salmon, transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish it with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions—season with lemon juice.

Sesame Seed Salmon pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving it with steamed vegetables, a crunchy salad, or fluffy quinoa.

Enjoy!
