Perfect Salmon Fan

• Whole fresh salmon fillet
• Sesame seeds for garnish
• For the soy-silan glaze:
• 5 tablespoons silan (date honey)
• 5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1-2 teaspoons salt
• Pinch of black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the salmon at tight intervals of 0.5 cm to 1 cm without reaching the fish's skin. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

2. 2

   Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the soy and silan together for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly. Turn off the heat, add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well.

3. 3

   Pour the glaze generously over the fish and make sure the sauce gets well between the cracks of the fan. You can use a silicone brush.

4. 4

   Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

5. 5

   Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees (turbo) for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish is ready and the edges are caramelized.
