Ingredients

• 4 pieces thick salmon fillet (each 6 oz/175 g)
• Salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper; press tops into seeds.

Place skin side down on buttered, foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in 450 °F (230 °C) oven for 10 to 15 min or just until white juices appear.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and ginger until soft, about 5 min. Stir in vinegar until evaporated. Stir in cream; bring to a boil. Boil for 2 min; season with salt and pepper.

Spoon sauce on serving plates and top with salmon.
