Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Cut the fish into thick pieces, one per person. Carefully remove all bones and skin.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Dry roast 100 g sesame seeds in a small pan on high heat for 5 minutes at most.

You will see that the sesame seeds "jump" like popcorn when they are done.
Stage 3 - 3 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Mix in a bowl with a fork: the sesame seeds, 30 g butter, 1 tablespoon flour, salt and pepper.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Salt, pepper and flour the fish pieces on both sides.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
Stage 5 - 1 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a pan and fry the fish pieces for 1 minute maximum on each side to brown them lightly.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Arrange the fish pieces in an oven-proof dish and coat with a thin layer of sesame paste.
Stage 7 - 15 min.
Fish in a sesame crust
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

If you have an electronic thermometer, stick it into the middle of one of the fish pieces. It will be cooked just right when the temperature reaches 60°C (140°F).
Stage 8
Fish in a sesame crust
Serve straight away with the accompaniment of your choice.
Remarks
You can put the fish under the grill to finish browning, if necessary, so that the crust is nice and crisp.
Keeping: To be eaten right away, though the sesame paste can be made in advance.
