Sesame Topped Salmon Recipes

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-TOPPED SALMON

Steps:

• Wash and dry salmon and sprinkle sesame seeds on the top.
• Measure fish at its thickest point, and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch. Heat oil in nonstick skillet, place salmon bottom side down and cook over medium heat. Turn and saute until fish is cooked through and sesame seeds are brown.

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.

BROILED SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• To make marinade, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, syrup, lemon juice, and ginger; whisk to blend.
• Place salmon pieces in a nonreactive (not aluminum) container.
• Pour marinade over them and turn to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Preheat broiler. Spray a nonstick broiler pan with olive oil.
• Place salmon, skin side up, on pan and transfer marinade to a small saucepan.
• Broil salmon 4 inches from heat for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil; simmer 2 minutes.
• Turn salmon, baste with marinade, sprinkle with sesame seeds and broil another 4 minutes or until just cooked through.
• Fish and marinade can be served hot, at room temperature or chilled. Spoon a tablespoon of boiled marinade over each piece; garnish with green onion.

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.
