Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillet on a sheet pan and drizzle on olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 teaspoon of the pepper.

Step 3

Place in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes apart easily in the middle.

Step 4

In the meantime, mix together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, remaining salt, remaining pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the water. Gradually add more water, if needed, until you reach your desired consistency. I like my sauce runny enough to drizzle, but thick enough that it sticks to what I dip it in.

Step 5

When the salmon is done, drizzle on the tahini sauce, or serve it on the side and dig in!
