Furikake Salmon
Quick and delicious baked salmon topped with savory furikake seasoning, perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets Skin on or skinless both work. Center cut pieces are best.
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise Helps the furikake stick and keeps the salmon moist.
- 1-2 teaspoons Soy sauce or tamari Add depth. Adjust according to saltiness of furikake.
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar or lemon juice Adds brightness to the dish.
- optional Honey or maple syrup A tiny bit balances the salty topping.
- to taste Furikake seasoning Choose your favorite blend. Spicy versions available.
- optional Scallions For topping at the end.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to help the topping stick.
Topping Preparation
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar or lemon juice, and honey (if using) to create a salty, savory mixture.
Baking the Salmon
- Place the salmon on the prepared pan and spread a thin layer of the mayo mixture on top of each piece.
- Generously press furikake seasoning onto each piece of salmon.
- Bake for about 10 to 14 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. Salmon is done when it flakes easily and looks opaque.
- For an extra toasty topping, broil for 30 to 60 seconds at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
Notes
For meal prep, pair with rice and quick veggies. Add extra furikake after reheating for crunch. Optional to use sriracha in the mayo mix for a spicy kick.
