Seared Salmon with Moroccan Spice Crust

Saw this in the paper, and thought of all you salmon lovers out there:
(4 servings)

4 6 oz. salmon steaks
1 t. coriander seeds
1 t. caraway seeds
1 t. anise seeds
 1 t. black peppercorns
3 t. light sesame oil
1/2 t. Kosher* salt
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper

Coarsely grind the seeds and peppercorns in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. In a bowl, combine the spice mixture with the sesame oil, and mix well. Season the steaks with S&P. Rub both sides of each salmon piece with a generous amt. of the spice and oil mixture. Heat a pan large enough for all the salmon (cast iron is great for this*) over med.-high heat. Add the salmon and cook, turning once, until the fish is browned ont he outside and opaque in the center, about 4 mins, per side. Serve with buttered lemon pepper orzo* and dilled haricot verts.
