Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillets salmon around 150g each
  • 2 tbsps honey
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 red chilli
  • 2 tsps sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Chop up the chilli and crush or finely chop the garlic.
  • Add to the honey and spread the mixture all over the salmon fillets.
  • Season with salt and pepper and leave to marinate for up to 1 hour.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan and add the salmon.
  • Sprinkle over half of the sesame seeds and cook for about 3 mins.
  • Flip the salmon over, sprinkle over the other half of the seeds and cook for a further 3 mins. (This should ensure a rare salmon fillet which is how I like it - if you prefer yours well done, leave it in the pan for a minute longer on each side!).
  • Remove from the pan and serve.
