Toast the sesame seeds in a pan for under one minute and set aside to cool
Preheat the oven to 220ºC
Mix together the lime zest, 1 tbsp. coconut oil and smoked paprika with a big pinch of salt and pepper
Rub onto the salmon and let it marinate for 1 hour
In the meantime, finely chop the spring onions and heat remaining coconut oil in a small pan
Remove the oil from the heat and whisk together with the miso paste and spring onions to create a miso glaze
Cut the aubergine in half lengthways
