Quick Summary

Ingredients

Method

1. 1. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel to ensure the crust adheres properly.
2. 2. In a small bowl, combine the white and black sesame seeds. Press the top of each fillet into the seeds to create an even, textured layer.
3. 3. Whisk the tamari, vinegar, honey, and ginger in a small dish to create your glaze.
4. 4. Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon, crust-side down, in the pan. Sear for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp.
5. 5. Flip the fillets carefully. Brush the tops with the prepared glaze and cook for another 3 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
