Original GF Paleo Vegetarian
Sesame-Roasted Salmon

A savory glaze pulls double duty here as a topping for the salmon and a flavorful sauce for the vegetables. A generous helping of furikake adds delicious depth to the finished dish.
Smarts: Furikake is a Japanese seasoning consisting mainly of crumbled nori and sesame seeds. Look for it in the global foods section of the supermarket, at specialty stores, or online. (Check the label to make sure it complies with your dietary needs.)

Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil (to make cleanup easier) and brush with some cooking oil.

  2. Spread out salmon filets, skin side down, in an even layer on the baking sheet. Season salmon with some salt and pepper and brush with first portion of sesame glaze (portion for salmon).

  3. Transfer salmon to the oven and roast until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through cooking, brush salmon with second portion of glaze (portion for salmon).

  4. While salmon roasts, heat a wok or saute pan with cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and bell peppers and stir fry until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in garlic, mushrooms, and white parts of green onions and continue to cook until vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.

  5. Stir in sesame glaze (portion for noodles) and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes more, or until everything is well-combined and heated through.

  6. Remove from heat and fold in furikake.

  7. Divide salmon filets and vegetables among serving plates. Sprinkle with green parts of green onions. Enjoy!
