2 Tbsp black sesame seeds (or more white if unavailable)
Salt & pepper, to taste
½ tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp butter (for searing)
For the Ginger Butter Broccolini:

Protein: 40g
Fat: 35g
Carbs: 4g
Preparation
Pat salmon dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Press sesame seeds onto the top (presentation side) of each fillet to coat.
Heat 1 Tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon sesame-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the crust is golden. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the fish reaches desired doneness. Remove and rest.
While salmon rests, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccolini and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil (if using).
Plate salmon over broccolini. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, or lemon zest if desired.
