Ingredients
| 4 | salmon fillets (4oz) |
|---|---|
| 1 tsp | red pepper flakes |
| 2 tbsp | sesame seeds, white and black |
| 1 tbsp | oil |
| 2 tbsp | tamari |
| 2 tbsp | rice vinegar |
| 1 tbsp | honey |
| 1 tsp | grated fresh ginger |
| 1 | lime, zest and juice |
| 1 | green onion, thinly sliced |
Salt and pepper to taste |
Directions
Season the salmon with the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Spread the sesame seeds on a small plate. Press the top of each salmon fillet into the sesame seeds to form a sesame crust. Set them aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the salmon, skin side down on the skillet. Cook until the skin is golden, about 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and continue to cook until the remaining side is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, honey, and ginger. Add the lime zest, lime juice, and green onions.
Serve the salmon immediately with the dipping sauce.
