SESAME SALMON BOWLS
This one-pot meal, which is inspired by chirashi, or Japanese rice and raw fish bowls, features a savory vinegared rice that's typically served with sushi. Traditionally, the rice is cooked first, then mixed with vinegar, but here, the rice is cooked in vinegar-seasoned water to eliminate a step. The result is sticky rice that's tangy and sweet, and a perfect bed for fatty salmon. The salmon is added toward the end to steam directly on top of the rice for an easy one-pan meal. Packaged coleslaw is a time saver, eliminating extra knife work. Make a double batch of the zesty dressing for drizzling over roasted vegetables or green leafy salads the next day.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the rice and 1 3/4 cups water, and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, toss salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt. Once rice is tender (after about 20 minutes), arrange salmon in an even layer on top of rice. Cover and steam over low heat until fish is cooked to medium, about 12 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, safflower oil, scallions, ginger and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and season with salt.
- Scoop salmon and rice into bowls. Top each with some cucumbers, coleslaw mix and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with nori, if using.

Steps:
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, sealable container, or zipped-top bag. Whisk the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic together in a medium bowl. Pour over the salmon fillets, coating them thoroughly. Cover the dish/seal the container or bag. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 8-9 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Line the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet and top each with sesame seeds. Hold onto the used marinade-see step 4. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness, about 10 minutes per 1-inch inch thickness measured from the thickest part of the fillet or until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) internal heat. If desired (for crispier edges), broil the salmon on high for the last 3 minutes.
- Pour the used marinade into a small saucepan or skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove cooked salmon from the oven. Garnish with chopped scallion and serve with thickened maple glaze.

ROASTED FISH WITH LEMON, SESAME AND HERB BREADCRUMBS
Trout is an ideal weeknight dinner because its thin fillets cook in minutes. All it really needs is some butter and lemon, but an herb-panko mixture adds freshness and crunch. The breadcrumb mixture is inspired by za'atar, a spice blend that includes sesame seeds, dried herbs and tart-citrusy sumac. Using fresh thyme and oregano instead of dried herbs, and lemon zest in place of dried sumac yields a brighter final dish. If you want to use dried za'atar, swap in 3 tablespoons of the blend for the first four ingredients. Serve the fish alongside rice, a green salad, boiled potatoes or braised chickpeas. The fish roasts in about the same time as string beans, broccolini or snap peas would, so you can also roast vegetables on a second baking sheet while the fish cooks.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the mixture between your fingers until the herbs are bruised and fragrant. Stir in the bread crumbs and butter until combined.
- Season the trout with salt and pepper and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Spoon the bread crumbs evenly over the fish and bake until the fish is opaque and the bread crumbs are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

Steps:
- Mix the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes on a plate, then press the salmon fillets into the mixture to coat.
- Heat half the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the salmon, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat, add the vegetables, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked. Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and serve with the salmon and basmati rice.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon: The quality of the salmon will greatly impact the taste of the spread. Look for wild-caught salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to dice the salmon and finely chop the other ingredients.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook the salmon just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Chill the spread before serving: Chilling the spread will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.
- Serve the spread with a variety of accompaniments: Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping. You can also use the spread as a sandwich spread or as a topping for baked potatoes.
Conclusion:
Sesame salmon spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of salty, sweet, and savory flavors, sesame salmon spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
