Rich salmon takes well to a spicy black and green peppercorn coating. Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) is an Indonesian condiment made with palm sugar; it's available in Asian supermarkets.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon freshly ground green peppercorns
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
cooking spray
4 teaspoons sweet soy sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. 2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge both sides of salmon in peppercorn mixture. 3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add salmon; cook 2 minutes on each side. Bake at 400° for 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Drizzle fillets evenly with soy sauce.
