SESAME CRUSTED FISH
This is a terrific and simple fish dish. I've made it for many years. This is best with a flaky fish such as cod or snapper but tilapia will work, too. A Jeff Smith/Frugal Gourmet recipe.

Steps:
- Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes.
- Drain and dust the fish in flour.
- Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds.
- Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter.
- Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce diluted with about a 50/50 ratio of water and some fresh grated ginger. Delicious!
- You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.
SESAME-CRUSTED FISH
A few years ago I attended a cooking class with Tony Mantuano, the owner-chef of Tuttaposto, then a very trendy restaurant in Chicago. This was one of the recipes he showed us. A fast and tasty dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.
- Heat oil in a nonstick pan.
- Brush fillets with the egg whites and season with salt and pepper.
- Coat thickly on one side only with the sesame seeds.
- Saute in oil, seed side down, until golden brown.
- Place seed side up on a cornmeal sprinkled baking pan and bake at 400 deg. until done - this will depend on the thickness of your fillets, probably will take about 5 minutes.
- Or, you can just turn over and panfry until done.
- Note1: Chef recommended grouper or red snapper; I've made this also with tilapia.
- Note2: Baking is really handy if you are making a larger quantity - that way you can finish all the fillets at the same time.

SESAME-CRUSTED FISH WITH BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE
This recipe came out of a 2005 kitchen cage match between Mark Bittman and the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, in which Bittman, the home cook, sought to cook Chef Vongerichten's food more simply and perhaps just as deliciously. Judging by the quality of this particular dish, he succeeded.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Put seeds on plate. Season fillets with salt and pepper and turn in seeds, patting to coat fillets as fully as possible with seeds. Add oil to skillet and when it shimmers add fillets.
- Brown fish on 1 side for a couple of minutes, then brown on other side for a minute or two. Remove skillet from heat, transfer fish to plate (even if not done) and place plate in oven.
- When skillet has cooled slightly, put over medium heat. Add butter, and when it melts add ginger. About 30 seconds later, add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. Return fillets to skillet, along with accumulated juices.
- Turn heat to medium and cook fillets for about 1 to 3 minutes until desired doneness, turning 3 or 4 times. (If the pan dries out, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) Fish should be done when a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance at fillet's thickest point. Serve pan juices over fish.

Steps:
- Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes. Drain and dust the fish in flour. Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds. Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter. Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce and fresh grated ginger. Delicious! You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, tuna, or halibut work best for this recipe. If using a thinner fillet, consider doubling it up to ensure even cooking.
- Make sure the fish is dry before coating: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels before coating them in the sesame mixture. This will help the coating adhere better and result in a crispier crust.
- Use a light touch when coating the fish: Gently press the sesame mixture onto the fish fillets, taking care not to press too hard or the coating will fall off. You want a thin, even coating that will adhere to the fish without being too thick.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the fish, make sure to leave enough space between each fillet so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause the fish to steam rather than sear, resulting in a soggy crust.
- Be patient when searing the fish: Don't rush the searing process. Allow the fish to cook undisturbed for several minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Flipping the fish too often will prevent the crust from developing and will result in a fish that is not cooked through.
Conclusion:
Sesame crusted fish is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its crispy, flavorful crust and tender, flaky interior, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Experiment with different types of fish and seasonings to create your own unique sesame crusted fish recipe.
