Steps:

• Trout: Rinse each trout under cold water and pat dry. Dip each into the lemon juice and then dredge the skinless side in the sesame seeds to coat well. In a heavy-bottom, large saute pan, heat the butter and oil until the foam subsides. Place the trout skin-side-up in the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium and cook about 5-8 minutes; flip, and cook another 5-8 minutes, or until the flesh is pinkish white and flaky.
• Ginger Scallion Salad: Combine all ingredients and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary. Pile a little of the salad on top of each trout.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon seed-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown. Turn the fillets over and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add sesame seeds and shake the skillet gently, moving the seeds around, until they are aromatic, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place the onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme in a large pot. Add the chicken to the pot with just enough cold water to cover. Cover and bring to a simmer. Uncover and cook for 1 hour. Drain the chicken, reserving the cooking liquid, and set the chicken aside to cool. Discard the seasonings and refrigerate or freeze the stock for future use. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and discard. Shred the meat from the chicken and then chop it until very fine. Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sesame oil. Add this to the chicken and combine well. Add the cilantro, chives, and scallions and combine well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
• Spread each bread slice with butter, reserving some butter for garnishing. Spread an even layer of chicken salad onto half of the slices of bread. Top with the other half of the slices to make sandwiches. Trim the crusts. Cut each sandwich on the diagonal. Arrange the sandwiches long-edge down in a row. Spread the remaining butter along one side of the row. Press the sesame seeds into the buttered edge to cover. Garnish the platter with mizuna leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Brush steak with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook steak in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing., Divide salad mix among four plates. Top with radishes, onions, cucumber, peas, tomatoes and cilantro. Arrange sliced steak over salads; drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• While chicken is cooling, combine olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper in a Mason jar; close lid and shake vigorously until combined.
• Chop cooled chicken and place in a bowl with dressing and sesame seeds; toss to combine.

Steps:

• Mix the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes on a plate, then press the salmon fillets into the mixture to coat.
• Heat half the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the salmon, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat, add the vegetables, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked. Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and serve with the salmon and basmati rice.

Steps:

• Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
• Rub both sides with a little sesame oil and coat the fillets with sesame seeds.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet, preferably non-stick, over moderate heat until the oil shimmers.
• Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook without moving them until the bottoms are browned and the bottom half of the fillets are opaque, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the fillets and cook, without moving them, until the flesh is opaque and firm to the touch, about 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Put seeds on plate. Season fillets with salt and pepper and turn in seeds, patting to coat fillets as fully as possible with seeds. Add oil to skillet and when it shimmers add fillets.
• Brown fish on 1 side for a couple of minutes, then brown on other side for a minute or two. Remove skillet from heat, transfer fish to plate (even if not done) and place plate in oven.
• When skillet has cooled slightly, put over medium heat. Add butter, and when it melts add ginger. About 30 seconds later, add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. Return fillets to skillet, along with accumulated juices.
• Turn heat to medium and cook fillets for about 1 to 3 minutes until desired doneness, turning 3 or 4 times. (If the pan dries out, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) Fish should be done when a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance at fillet's thickest point. Serve pan juices over fish.

Steps:

• Arrange spinach, romaine lettuce, pear, apple, and grapes on a plate.
• Mix vinegar, caramel topping, sesame oil, and sesame seeds together in a bowl. Pour dressing over salad.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Make sure there are no scales on the skin. Rinse well, the inside and outside.
• Pat dry and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Stuff the cavity of the trout with your choice of aromatics, if using.
• Rub the skin of the fish all over with the olive oil (this will make it easier to remove the salt crust after roasting).
• In a large bowl with a rubber spatula, mix the salt with the egg whites and water.
• Spread enough of the salt mixture on the bottom of a large rimmed baking sheet to make a bed about 1/4 inch thick and roughly the same size as the fish.
• Put the fish on top of the salt bed.
• Using your hands, coat the fish with the remaining salt mixture to make a 1/4-inch-thick crust, molding it around the contours of the fish. (If the tail or head extends beyond the rim of the pan, it doesn't need to be covered with the salt mixture.).
• Cook the trout 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cook until the thermometer registers between 135°F and 140°F.Start checking at the lower end of the time range in the chart above. Let the fish rest in its crust for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• To remove the salt crust, tap with a metal spoon to crack the crust and remove with spoon or fork. Use a pastry brush to remove any salt remaining.
• To Serve:.
• Remove skin, separate top part of fish from bone to platter, remove bones and aromatics and remove lower part of fish from skin and put onto platter.
• Serve.
