This cooking method gives the salmon a caramelized crust while keeping it juicy. Sesame seeds add a delicate nutty aroma, and garlic reveals the nuances of spices. The dish is perfect for a cozy dinner or festive table, offering an exquisite blend of simplicity and elegance. It pairs well with rice, vegetables, or fresh salads, allowing you to enjoy rich Eastern flavors. Its ease of preparation makes it accessible even for kitchen novices, while its sophistication appeals to gourmets.
