Slow Sesame Salmon
When it comes to cooking protein, I need a recipe that I can remember easily. Actually, this is what I need for any dish!
If you’ve never tried salmon cooked low and slow, now is the time!
I came up with this recipe one evening many years ago and have made it hundreds of times since. It’s my go-to recipe when planning a salmon dinner.
Why I love this recipe:
- It’s easy to remember
- It doesn’t require measurements (though I’ve provided them for you)
- The oven does all the work, making it simple and clean
- It only takes 30 minutes, which is perfect for preparing the rest of the meal and cleaning up
- It’s delicious and healthy. That’s why I keep coming back to this recipe for cooking salmon time and time again.
I use coconut aminos, but a good wheat-free tamari works great too. You may want to omit the added salt as tamari is already very salty.
