This is a quick and delicious way to serve salmon with a healthy side vegetable of bok choy. You can also substitute another firm fish of your choices such as cod, haddock or halibut. Using white and black sesame seeds gives this a dramatic presentation. You can buy them already mixed or buy separately and mix together.
