Ingredients:

4 tbsp sesame seeds
36g
6 fillets salmon
1910g
1 tbsp sesame oil
14g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/3 tsp white pepper
0.79g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 onion
110g
3 tbsp ginger root
18g
3 tbsp vinegar
44g
1 cup coconut milk
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, spread the sesame seeds evenly.
2. Season and Crust the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Rub each fillet with sesame oil, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Season the salmon with salt and white pepper.
- Press the salmon fillets into the sesame seeds, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Set aside.
3. Cook the Salmon:
- Heat a non-stick oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted and hot, add the sesame-crusted salmon fillets, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Prepare the Coconut Milk Sauce:
- While the salmon is baking, use another skillet to heat over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced ginger root and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the vinegar, stirring well to deglaze the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the coconut milk. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Serve:
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the salmon fillets hot, drizzling generously with the coconut milk sauce.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs such as cilantro or green onions for an added touch of flavor and color.

Tips:

- Ensure the salmon fillets are fresh for the best flavor and texture.

- Toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan before crusting the salmon to enhance their nutty flavor.

- Grate the ginger root finely to distribute its pungent flavor evenly throughout the sauce.

- Let the butter reach room temperature before using it to help it melt evenly and blend perfectly with the other ingredients.

- Use coconut milk of good quality to ensure a rich and velvety sauce.

- Adjust the seasoning to taste, but be cautious with the salt as the sesame oil and salmon are naturally savory.

- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer for a few extra minutes to reduce.

With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, this Ginger-sesame Crusted Wild Salmon with Coconut Milk Sauce is sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire. The nutty, spicy crust combined with the rich and creamy coconut sauce creates a truly unforgettable dining experience. Serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
