This is a easy recipe but looks and tastes good enough to serve to company. My family loved this and it is their favorite salmon recipe now. I loved the sesame seeds they get very toasted and tasty and add a satisfying crunch. I highly recommend this one

This was a lovely dish - simple yet very tasty - and elegant. I love salmon (have posted my own fav salmon recipe on this site) and this was a close competitor. Thanks Ma Duck - it's a keeper in my book.

I love this. Deceptively simple. I have made this several times as a single serving. Thank you so much for sharing!

Lovely! We had an evening without kids and my partner brought home some salmon, so I went looking for a recipe and found this. Very simple to prepare, but it tasted as if I'd spent a lot of time preparing it. I steamed some rice and some broccoli to serve with the salmon - it really didn't need anything else. Thank you, Evie, this was divine. I'll definitely make this again!

Absolutely delicious. I used black sesame seeds, since it was what I had on hand. This one is a keeper for us!
