Black And Orange: Black Sesame Seed And Sea Salt-Crusted Salmon With Wasabi-Lime Sauce Recipe

• 10 ounces boneless, skinless salmon fillet
• 1/4 cup black sesame seeds
• Coarse sea salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Juice of 1/4 lime
• 1 1/2 tablespoons mirin
• 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder

1. Crust the salmon with the black sesame seeds and sprinkle with salt. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot, and then add the oil, and the fish. Sear 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side, then remove to a plate to rest.
2. While the fish rests, whisk together the lime juice, mirin, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and wasabi powder.
3. Slice the fish into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the fish on a plate, and serve the sauce alongside. Garnish with a bunch of whole chives.
