What You Need (No Secret Ingredients Here, Just Pure Deliciousness) Sesame Salmon

Servings: 4 (or 2 if you’re feeling especially hungry)

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (because everything’s better with a little sesame)
• ¼ cup lemon juice (get that citrus zing going)
• ¼ cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you’re not into the coconut vibes)
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard (we’re fancy like that)
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger (let’s add a little spice!)
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (smell that flavor)
• 4 (6oz) salmon steaks (or 4 filets—whatever floats your boat)

Instructions (Just Follow These, and You’re a Seafood Pro)

1. Mix it Up:
   Grab a large re-sealable plastic bag and throw in the sesame oil, lemon juice, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), mustard, ginger, and garlic powder. Seal it up and give it a good shake like you’re prepping for a dance-off.
2. Save Some Magic:
   Set aside ½ cup of your marinade and put it in the fridge. This will be your secret weapon for later!
3. Marinate the Salmon:
   Add your beautiful salmon steaks to the remaining marinade in the bag. Seal it up, give it a little turn, and let it chill in the fridge for 1 to 1.5 hours. It’s like letting the salmon take a little spa day—turn it once halfway through for maximum flavor absorption.
4. Broil Like a Pro:
   Preheat your broiler and get your broiler pan ready. Place the salmon 3-4 inches from the heat and broil for 5 minutes. Now, brush the salmon with that reserved marinade—just a little extra love. Flip it over, broil for another 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Brush one last time with the remaining marinade. It’s a glaze of glory!
