300g
Lemon juice
1 tbsp
Egg
1 large
Cornstarch or potato starch
50g
White sesame seeds
100g
Salt
1 pinch
Instructions
1
Prepare the Salmon
Slice the salmon fillet into finger-sized strips. Place them in a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Let them sit for 10 minutes to marinate slightly.
2
Set Up the Breading Station
Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat well. Add a pinch of salt to the egg. Place the cornstarch in a separate dish and pour the sesame seeds into a third dish.
3
Coat the Fish
Dredge each salmon strip first in the cornstarch, shaking off excess. Dip it next into the beaten egg, and finally press it firmly into the sesame seeds to ensure an even coating.
4
Bake to Perfection
Arrange the coated salmon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the fish is cooked through.
