Gomashio Seed Mixture

Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
To prepare the gomashio seed mixture, in a small bowl, stir together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and salt. Set aside.

Salmon

Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons miso
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons water
  • 5 king salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each
  • 5 taco-size gluten-free corn tortillas, warmed
  • Lemon wedges for serving
Directions:
To prepare the salmon, preheat the oven to 550°F.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, brown sugar, miso, lemon juice, vinegar and water. Generously brush the tops of the salmon fillets with the mixture. 

Roast until the salmon is slightly charred and golden brown on top, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the salmon with the gomashio seed mixture and serve over fresh hot tortillas with a squeeze of lemon juice.
