2 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 eggs whites

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 to 2 pounds fresh salmon Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

Crush the almonds and sesame seeds in a blender  (I find almond slices crush the best)

Whisk together the egg white and water in another shallow pie plate 

(Save the yolks for your furry friends)

Evenly coat the bottom of the dish  Rinse the salmon in cool water

Remove from oven and turn the salmon over

Strawberry Puree just adds the final touch of taste to this delicious dish.  Serves six to eight

Brit’s Note: I prefer fresh Alaskan Salmon. Look for bright pink meat and no odor when purchasing salmon.
