I think I'll have to let the salmon marinate for a while next time around because the ingredients didn't quite flavour the salmon enough for me. Maybe my salmon was a bit thicker than others. The flavour it did have was really tasty though! I'll have to try it again asap and give a proper review :)

Really love the flavour of this salmon, delicious! I was out of the usual seseme seed so had to use black, hehe they look a little like ants. but the flavour was wonderful. I will make this again, thanks for posting.
