the best salmon

the golden, buttery salmon that made me forget I don't like fish

Let me tell you, as a non-seafood loving prairie girl, my journey to find a go to salmon recipe has been long and arduous. But when I tell you I did it, by golly I did it. I just needed to think beyond the classic lemon dill combo that, while tasty, doesn't leave me craving more.

Instead, this salmon gets the adorning treatment she deserves, a golden sesame crust, a butter baste, and topped with a maple sesame drizzle to round it all out. I am OBSESSED with this salmon and I am proud to say I now have a standing weekly date with our wild pink friend.

So I think this recipe is very deserving of it's name, and if you disagree, make it and prove me wrong. Let’s get your dinner, sorted.
