Sesame Crusted Salmon Dinner with Sautéed Sides

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). For the salmon, drizzle the fillets with avocado oil and then 1/4 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then coat generously with a mix of white and black toasted sesame seeds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through to your desired doneness.

While the salmon bakes, prepare the sides. For the mushrooms, heat a splash of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté with a little coconut aminos, salt, and pepper until tender and browned. 

For the asparagus, heat olive oil in a cast iron pan over high heat. Add the asparagus, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Sauté for approximately 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp. Serve the sesame crusted salmon immediately with the sautéed mushrooms and asparagus.
