Sesame-Ginger Pan Seared Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional for garnish)

Preparation

Drizzle sesame oil over salmon and rub over all sides of fish. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Season all sides of fish and allow to dry marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is fragrant and glistening, sear one side for 5-7 minutes. Carefully turn and sear the opposite side for another 5-7 minutes. Once salmon is cooked through, remove to serving plate and cover.
Lower skillet heat to medium-low and toast sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant and thoroughly coated with the oils and seasonings remaining in the pan.
Spread seeds evenly over the top of each filet.
Serve and enjoy!
