This recipe is about as simple as they come, and your minimal effort
will be rewarded with a memorable dish you'll want to repeat in the future.

Sesame-Crusted Salmon

4-6 salmon fillets, about 6 oz (170 g) each, skinned
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 Tbs (15 ml) sesame or vegetable oil
About 1/4 cup (60 ml) sesame seeds

Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Rub both sides with a little
sesame oil and coat the fillets with sesame seeds. Heat the remaining
oil in a large skillet, preferably non-stick, over moderate heat until
the oil shimmers. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook
without moving them until the bottoms are browned and the bottom half of
the fillets are opaque, about 5 minutes. Turn the fillets and cook,
without moving them, until the flesh is opaque and firm to the touch, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Serves 4 to 6.
