Pan-Seared Juicy Sesame Salmon with Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Broccoli

1. Wash and pat dry the salmon, ensuring it is completely dry. In a bowl, combine 1.5 tbsp sesame oil, 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 0.5 tsp garlic salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Transfer the salmon into the bowl and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, if possible.
2. While the salmon marinates, prepare the mashed potatoes. Peel the white potatoes, cut them into fours, and place them in a pot of boiling water seasoned with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Boil for 15 minutes until tender.
3. Drain the boiled potatoes. Add 0.33 butter stick and 2 tbsp parmesan, then mash with a potato masher until fluffy. Add 0.25 cup milk and stir.
4. For the salmon, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the salmon fillet skin side up and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the salmon and finish cooking for another 4 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. Pair the pan-seared salmon and mashed potatoes with steamed broccoli and enjoy!
