Number Of Ingredients 7

Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, all skin and fat removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cucumbers, sliced very thinly lengthwise (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place a salmon fillet on a clean work surface. Using a sharp knife, slice the fillet open horizontally, leaving one end intact. Spread fillet open, and turn over. Season with salt and pepper. Tightly roll the fillet. Secure with a wooden toothpick. Repeat with remaining fillets.
  • Pour sesame seeds into a small dish. Place a roulade in the seeds, and thoroughly coat bottom; drizzle sesame-coated side with olive oil. Repeat on other side. Coat and drizzle the remaining three roulades.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and soy sauce; set aside.
  • Fold the edges of a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to form a shallow baking pan; place on grill. Arrange roulades on foil; grill until opaque halfway through, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn roulades over; grill until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill, and drizzle with reserved soy mixture. Serve on a bed of cucumber strips, if desired.
