Creating a new recipe is like painting on a blank canvas—you start with basic ingredients and let your creativity guide you. Imagine crafting a dish that brings together unexpected flavors, yet harmonizes perfectly on the plate. For instance, consider a savory fusion of Asian and Mediterranean cuisines: Spicy Sesame-Crusted Salmon with a Zesty Olive Tapenade.
Instructions
- 1 . Prepare the Salmon: Start by marinating the salmon fillets in a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a splash of lemon juice. Let it soak in the flavors for about 15 minutes.Sesame Crust: While the salmon is marinating, combine the black and white sesame seeds on a plate. Press the marinated salmon fillets into the seeds, coating them evenly on both sides.Sear the Salmon: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Sear the sesame-crusted salmon on both sides until it’s cooked to your desired doneness—crispy on the outside, tender inside.Make the Tapenade: In a food processor, blend the Kalamata olives, capers, parsley, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Drizzle in some olive oil and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth but still a bit chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Plate and Serve: Place the seared salmon on a plate and top it with a generous spoonful of the zesty olive tapenade. Serve with a side of sautéed greens or a fresh quinoa salad.This recipe blends the nutty, rich flavors of sesame with the bright, tangy notes of the olive tapenade, creating a dish that’s both satisfying and exciting.
