Ingredients:

  • 2 Vital Choice wild Pacific king salmon fillets (thawed)

  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (minced)

Instructions: 

  • Remove fish portions from packaging, rinse gently, and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides of fish with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and black sesame seeds.
