Sesame Salmon Fillet Recipes

SESAME GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade.
• Place salmon fillets in shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Remove salmon from marinade, shaking to remove excess marinade, and place, skin-side up, into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes. Discard unused marinade in the shallow dish. Flip salmon and drizzle the reserved 1/4 of the marinade over salmon; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip salmon, remove skin, and cook 1 minute more.

GLAZED SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a shallow dish, mix together the chilli sauce, soy, sesame oil, rice wine, garlic and ginger. Lay the pieces of salmon in the marinade, skin-side up, and set aside for 15 mins.
• Put the marinated salmon on a baking tray, skin-side down, and spoon over a little of the leftover marinade. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and roast in the oven for 15 mins, or until done to your liking. Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.

SESAME SALMON BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the rice and 1 3/4 cups water, and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt. Once rice is tender (after about 20 minutes), arrange salmon in an even layer on top of rice. Cover and steam over low heat until fish is cooked to medium, about 12 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, safflower oil, scallions, ginger and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and season with salt.
• Scoop salmon and rice into bowls. Top each with some cucumbers, coleslaw mix and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with nori, if using.

SESAME SALMON FILLET

Steps:

• Place the salmon in a shallow dish.
• Combine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, oil, mustard, and ginger; pour over salmon.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once after 30 minutes.
• Drain and discard marinade.
• Broil the salmon or grill, covered, over medium high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds and onions.

SESAME-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes on a plate, then press the salmon fillets into the mixture to coat.
• Heat half the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the salmon, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat, add the vegetables, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked. Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and serve with the salmon and basmati rice.

SESAME-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Rub both sides with a little sesame oil and coat the fillets with sesame seeds.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet, preferably non-stick, over moderate heat until the oil shimmers.
• Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook without moving them until the bottoms are browned and the bottom half of the fillets are opaque, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the fillets and cook, without moving them, until the flesh is opaque and firm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
