A delightful salmon dish with a crispy sesame crust and a hint of citrus flavor.
Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant.
Toast the seeds just before use to maximize their flavor.
Combine the toasted sesame seeds, orange zest, lemon zest, white pepper, and salt in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Avoid over-processing to maintain some texture in the crust.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a broiler pan with foil.
Lining the pan with foil makes cleanup easier.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Ensure the fillets are evenly coated for a consistent crust.
Press the sesame crust mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even layer.
Press gently but firmly to help the crust adhere.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon at 7 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Serve the salmon fillets warm, garnished with additional citrus zest if desired.
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
