Sesame-Crusted Salmon Recipe

Delicious and easy--add some wasabi on the side for extra kick.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange rind
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3/4 cup uncooked couscous
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat broiler. Combine sesame seeds, rind, and salt in a shallow dish. Drizzle oil over fish. Dredge fish in sesame mixture. Place the fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

While the fish is cooking, bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir in onions, juice, and salt. Serve with fish.
