Wasabi paste is a ready-to-use mixture of dried horseradish, mustard, food coloring, and water. You can find it in most grocery stores.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450° with rack in top third.

For the sauce, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, wasabi paste, and honey; stir in scallions.

For the salmon, combine black and white sesame seeds. Coat salmon with nonstick spray and top with sesame seeds.

Heat oil in an ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add salmon, seed sides up; cook until bottom is crisp, 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to top rack of oven and roast salmon to desired doneness, or until a thermometer inserted into salmon registers 140° for medium-well, 34 minutes more. Serve salmon with sauce.

Statistics

Statistics

  • Average: 5.00
  • Standardized Average: 5.00
    This is the average rating for this recipe, relative to the average rating of all of the recipes on this site. The average rating of all the recipes on this site is 73.15. If we pin the population average to 3 (define 3 as the new 73.15) and adjust this particular recipe's average accordingly, we see that, relative to a population average of 3, this recipe's adjusted standardized average is 5.00. This number is useful in that it accounts for how different people have different interpretations of the rating system.
  • Median: 5
    This is the rating that is in the middle of the ratings distribution. It is generally more indicative of how much you will actually like this recipe than the average because the average is subject to being skewed by outliers.
  • Mode: 5
    This is the most common rating that people have given this recipe.
  • Standard Deviation: None
    This is a measure of how polarizing the recipe is; how much people disagree about it.
    0 is the least polarizing; everyone agrees on the rating.
    2.5 is the most polarizing.
    Recipes with lower standard deviations in the ratings are better for people who don't want surprises. Higher standard deviations are good for adventurous cooks. There is no standard deviation for this recipe because it has fewer than 2 ratings so far.
This salmon recipe is SO,SO GOOD!!! The flavors reminded us of salmon roll sushi! It's so easy to make! We brushed olive oil on the salmon then pressed the sesame seed in. For the sauce, we used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for my gluten free diet. We also used our Traeger to give the salmon a little smokey flavor! This recipe will definitely be in our rotation of favorite recipes!
