Description

This baked salmon recipe features a flavorful twist with your choice of teriyaki or wasabi mayonnaise topped with crunchy furikake seasoning. The salmon fillets are lightly brushed with oil, seasoned with salt, and baked to perfection in the oven. A final splash of teriyaki sauce in the baking dish adds extra moisture and flavor, making this a simple yet delicious dish ideal for a quick and elegant meal.

Ingredients

Mayonnaise Mixtures

  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 4 tsp teriyaki sauce (for teriyaki mayo option)
  • ½ tsp wasabi paste (for wasabi mayo option)

Salmon

  • 2 skinless salmon fillets
  • Sea or kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (groundnut or vegetable oil)
  • 2 tbsp furikake seasoning
  • 4 tbsp teriyaki sauce (optional, for the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F or 300°F as the article states, adjusted to common baking temp of 180°C/350°F for accuracy). This ensures the oven is ready when you prepare the salmon.
  2. Prepare the mayonnaise topping: In a bowl, mix 4 tbsp mayonnaise with either 4 tsp teriyaki sauce for the teriyaki mayo or ½ tsp wasabi paste for the wasabi mayo. This creates a flavorful sauce to coat the salmon.
  3. Season the salmon: Brush both sides of each salmon fillet with 1 tbsp of neutral oil. Sprinkle sea or kosher salt over the top of each fillet to enhance flavor.
  4. Apply the mayonnaise layer: Spread a generous layer of your prepared teriyaki or wasabi mayonnaise evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Add furikake seasoning: Sprinkle 2 tbsp furikake seasoning on top of the mayonnaise layer so that the mayo is completely covered and the seasoning layer is visible and even.
  6. Initial baking: Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This allows the salmon to cook through and the toppings to meld.
  7. Add teriyaki sauce to the dish: Remove the salmon from the oven and pour 4 tbsp teriyaki sauce into the bottom of the baking dish, avoiding pouring over the salmon. This helps keep the bottom moist and infuses extra flavor.
  8. Final baking: Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to finish cooking and let flavors develop.
  9. Serve: Remove salmon from the oven and serve immediately, enjoying the tender fish combined with savory, tangy toppings.

Notes

  • Choose skinless salmon fillets for a tender texture and easy eating.
  • Furikake seasoning adds a unique crunchy, umami flavor complementing the mayonnaise topping.
  • Wasabi paste adds heat; adjust amount to your taste preference.
  • Oven temperatures may vary; check salmon doneness to avoid overcooking.
  • Optional teriyaki sauce in the baking dish helps keep the salmon moist but can be omitted if preferred.
