This a good recipe for previously frozen wild pacific salmon when fresh isn't available or affordable.  I think it is a particularly good use for sockeye's strong flavor profile.  

This has a distinct asian flavor profile that goes well with stir fried veggies and brown rice.


Ingredients:
4 TB sesame seeds
4 Salmon fillets (4 oz to 6 oz each)
Pinch sea salt
Pinch black pepper
3 Tb Fish sauce
1 Tb canola oil
1 Tb sesame oil

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler.
2. Place sesame seeds in small dry skillet and good over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly toast and transfer to shallow plate.
3. Season fillets lightly with sea salt and pepper.  Brush the top of each fillet generously with fish sauce.  Place each fillet skin side up in sesame seeds.  Press to coat.
4. In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium high heat.  Place fillets in pad skin side down and seed side up.  Cook for 3 minutes until bottom edges are firm.
5. Using a spatula, transfer fillets, skin side down and seed side up onto broiler pan.  Broil for 3 minutes until seeds are browned and fish flakes easily with a fork.
