Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, prepare the Lemon Sesame Sauce by combining the zest and juice from Lemon Zest (1) , Shallots (2) , Sesame Seeds (1 Tbsp) , Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp) , Honey (1/2 Tbsp) , Toasted Sesame Oil (1 tsp) , and Fresh Ginger (1/2 Tbsp) . Stir well to combine all the ingredients and set aside.
Step 2
Brush the Salmon Fillets (4) with Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) on both sides and season with Salt (to taste) .
Step 3
Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and place the salmon filets skin-side down, cook the salmon 80% of the way through skin-side down. This will take about 8 minutes.
Step 4
Then, flip the salmon and add Water (3 Tbsp) , immediately close with a tight lid and remove from the heat. This will allow the salmon to steam and cook gently all the way through. This should take about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 6
Pour the Lemon Sesame Sauce over the seared salmon filet, allowing it to coat the fish evenly.
Step 7
Garnish with torn Fresh Cilantro Leaves (1/2 cup) for added freshness and flavor. Serve the salmon with Lemon Sesame Sauce immediately, and enjoy it with your favorite side dishes.
