  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Coat the salmon fillets in sesame seeds before baking. This will give the fish a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Bake the salmon fillets at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep the fish moist and prevent it from overcooking.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, rice, and quinoa.

Conclusion:

Sesame seed-encrusted salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
