Sesame-Crusted Salmon
Ingredients 1 lb. skinless salmon fillets 1/2 C mayonnaise 1/3 C chopped roasted red sweet peppers 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp snipped fresh chives Salt and pepper 1/3 C all-purpose flour 1 tbsp white sesame seeds (2 if no black seeds available) 1 tbsp black sesame seeds 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 C milk 2 tbsp cooking oil
| Substitute white seeds for black ones if unavailable. Roasted asparagus makes a great side for this dish.
Directions
Thaw fish, if frozen.
Rinse fish and pay dry with a paper towel (as dry as possible). Cut into four serving-size pieces if necessary. Set aside.
For sauce, stir together mayonnaise, red sweet pepper, lemon juice, and chives in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and chill until serving time.
In a shallow dish stir together flour, sesame seeds, and 1/4 tsp salt. Place milk in a second shallow dish. Dip each fillet in milk, then the flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
In a 10" skillet cook fish in the hot cooking oil for 4-5 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily.
Serve fish topped with sauce.
