Super simple sesame-crusted salmon
A quick and easy one this week. They had some lovely salmon (aside from the little mar in the skin you can see in the video) at the local fish store, so we thought we'd do this simple sesame crusted salmon for a video! People are frequently a little wary of dealing with fish, and it can be a tricky ingredient, but if you treat it simply and you're careful with your heat, it's actually very easy to deal with!
We made a couple of errors in this video, which you can see. 1) the knife hadn't been recently sharpened, so it wasn't QUITE sharp enough to effectively score the skin (which is why we ended up with that one very deep cut). 2) We overcooked it a little because our camera had a minor failure just as we were getting ready to take it out of the pan! Ah, the joys of trying to film time-sensitive food. Anyway, it was just a hair overdone, and came out delicious anyway. You can also do this with a salmon steak, and crust both sides. It also takes longer to cook (depending on the thickness) so you have a little more time leeway.
