Baked sesame salmon
There is little like a fresh piece piece of Cape salmon covered in toasted sesame seeds for a hot summers day meal. this recipe is so easy and so quick it’s hard to believe. This is all about the fantastic flavour of salmon, enhanced a little but preserving that delicate salmon flavour. (for 2 but make as many as you need)
What you need
2x 250g Cape salmon fillets
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Sea salt
Mange Tout finely sliced
Carrot finely shredded
Celery finely shredded
The process
Heat your oven to very hot or about 240 Celsius.
Line a baking tray with alluminium foil, place the fish on the foil and give them a grind of salt. Then squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
Bake for 15 or 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon, until the salmon is cooked through and the sesames seeds are beautifully browned and toasty.
Simply place on a bed of the shredded raw vegetables and you are done.
salmon has so many health benefits that we should be eating a lot more of it, it’s failry expensive so save it for a special occasion. And for the guys out there, what could be easier to impress a lady?
A great dessert for this recipe is to make this Warm cherry sauce served with some good vanilla ice cream.

Wouldn’t black sesame seeds have been more ‘correct’ here folks?
Hi Chef Valiant.. Each to his own but black sesame will certainly look fantastic… I just love to cook Valiant will give the black sesame a try. Just been in Mozambique and have plenty of Barracuda fillets, any ideas? Cheers for now G
Hi
I like to do this but spread a thin layer of thai curry paste or wasabi for extra flavour and then coat top in sesame seeds.
