How to Make Sesame Orange Salmon Fillets
- In a medium skillet, toast 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds over medium heat, shaking the skillet frequently, for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
- In a food processor, combine the toasted sesame seeds, zest of 1 orange, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
- Place salmon fillets (about 1 pound) on the prepared broiler pan.
- Drizzle salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Evenly press the sesame seed mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
