Sesame Crusted Cod
Step 1: Pour your black and white sesame seeds into a shallow dish. Season your fish with the spice mixture and drizzle over olive oil, then transfer it to sesame seeds and coat evenly on all sides.
Step 2: In a large pan, over a high heat, warm a generous amount of olive oil. As that shimmers, lay in your fish and sear until lightly browned on the exterior. Flip for an even cook. Remove from the heat to cool slightly
Step 3: Serve over our slaw and finish with cilantro, hot sauce, and pickled ginger. Enjoy!
