Ingredients
- 2 salmon steaks (about 150 g each)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (white and black, mixed or as desired)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for cooking)
- A few sprigs of chives (optional, for decoration)
Directions
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and black pepper to prepare a marinade.
- Brush the salmon steaks with the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes in the fridge.
- Spread the sesame seeds on a flat plate. Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade (without wiping them dry) and press each side into the sesame seeds to coat evenly.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (fan-assisted). Place the salmon steaks on a baking tray lined with baking paper and lightly drizzle with neutral oil.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then broil for 2 to 3 minutes to brown the sesame crust.
- Remove the cobblestones from the oven and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
- Serve the sesame-crusted salmon steaks with a drizzle of extra soy sauce, fragrant rice or steamed vegetables.
- Garnish with a few sprigs of chopped chives for a touch of freshness.
