Notes

To elevate the dish, toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan for enhanced flavor.
For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently in the oven to preserve moisture. Enjoying the salmon cold over a salad is another tasty option!
Feel free to substitute salmon with cod, chicken, or tofu based on dietary preference.
