Instructions
Place small saucepan over medium heat. Add all sauce ingredients. Stir and bring to low simmer, reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until sauce thickens into a glaze. Take off heat.
Coat both sides of fish with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle both sides with even layer of sesame seeds, pat down to adhere to fish.
To cook fish in a pan: Heat olive oil in medium pan to medium-high heat. Add salmon steaks and cook 2β3 minutes per side or until cooked completely. Fish should flake apart with a fork.
To cook fish on the grill: Heat grill to medium high heat. Place fish on top of greased foil sheet (to prevent sticking and filling into cracks), close lid and cook 2-3 minutes. Carefully rotate and cook 2β3 minutes more, until opaque white flaky.
Toast buns if desired. Place one salmon steak on each bun and drizzle with half of apricot glaze for each burger. Top with cilantro leaves for garnish and place other half of bun on top.
