- Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Rub both sides with 1 Tbs sesame oil.
- Pour sesame seeds onto a plate and lay salmon onto plate (flesh side down) to coat top with seeds.
- Heat a large skillet until hot, then add the remaining sesame oil and heat until the oil shimmers and is hot over medium heat.
- Place the salmon fillets in the skillet flesh/seed side down and cook without moving them until the seeds are browned and the top half of the fillets are opaque about 5 minutes.
- Turn the fillets and cook, without moving them, until the flesh is opaque and firm to the touch (about 125 degrees), about 5 minutes (if salmon is still not cooked through but edges are browned, you can finish baking in a 350F degree oven for a couple of minutes)
