What is furikake
Furikake pronounced ‘furi-carki’ is a Japanese condiment that is sprinkled over rice dishes, salads, vegetables, or anything you would like to give a little extra flavor and crunch.
You may have seen it labeled as Japanese rice seasoning in grocery stores. It is typically made with dried nori seaweed, roasted black and white sesame seeds, chili flakes, and dried fish flakes.
Do I need kewpie mayonnaise to make this recipe
No, you do not need to use kewpie mayonnaise to make this recipe. You can use regular mayonnaise and that is what I am using today.
Ingredients
Salmon fillets: substitute with trout, it has a similar flavor profile to salmon
Mayonnaise: I used full fat for maximum flavor, you can substitute with low fat mayo.
Furikake seasoning: I got mine from amazon and it is made with wild Dulse seaweed.
Fresh garlic
Salt and black pepper
How to make baked furikake salmon
Prep: Bring the salmon out of the fridge for about 15-30 minutes so it comes to room temperature. Cut the salmon into fillets if you haven’t already and you can also cook the whole side if you prefer. Pat the salmon dry with a kitchen paper towel and preheat the oven to 200C/400F
To a small bowl, add mayonnaise, and minced garlic and mix to combine.
Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil and place the salmon fillets inside. You could line the baking sheet with parchment paper for an easier cleanup.
Season the salmon with salt and black pepper, divide the mayo-garlic mixture evenly over each piece of salmon, and spread it out to cover the top of the fish.
Sprinkle the furikake seasoning over each salmon filet and spread it out evenly.
Bake salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Take it out of the oven and serve. Enjoy!
