Ingredients
Sesame Salmon with Wasabi Sauce
One hefty salmon steak
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
Oil for sauteing
Soy sauce
1 tsp. wasabi powder
1 tsp. water
1 Tbsp. heavy cream
Salt to taste
Slivered red bell pepper (for garnish)
Slivered green onion (scallion, for garnish)
Preparation
Make wasabi sauce: mix wasabi powder and water to make a paste, let stand for 10 minutes. Mix in heavy cream and season to taste with salt. Watch it in tasting, this stuff is hot.
Coat the fish with sesame seeds and saute in oil on both sides, in a skillet, until it flakes (i.e., is just done).
Season to taste with soy sauce. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the wasabi sauce, sprinkle with a garnish of finely slivered red bell pepper and green onion, and serve.
