Crispy Sesame Salmon

This is one of my most favourite recipes and my family’s too!

I started by cooking the usual crispy skin salmon, potatoes and steamed greens, then realised that by adding just one different ingredient a whole world of flavours came about. The sesame seeds bring your average salmon to a whole new level.

This makes even the most novice salmon cook look like an expert! The seeds make it go crispy every time so no more soggy skin!
