A delightful twist on the classic sesame-crusted salmon, enhanced with a flavorful ginger soy glaze.
Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Let the salmon sit for a few minutes after seasoning to absorb the flavors.
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate and press each salmon fillet into the seeds to coat evenly.
Use a mix of white and black sesame seeds for a visually appealing crust.
Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the salmon properly.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked through.
Avoid moving the salmon too much to maintain the crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced ginger, and garlic to create a glaze.
Adjust the soy sauce quantity to taste for a less salty glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooked salmon and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
