Notes
Ingredient notes & substitutions
Salmon can be fresh or thawed from frozen, either a single large piece or individual salmon fillets. It's best to use salmon with the skin on, but if your salmon doesn't have skin just grease the dish with butter or vegetable oil before placing the salmon in it.
Soy sauce can be swapped for tamari, which makes it gluten free
Mayonnaise can be added as well, but I prefer to keep mine on the side. If you really want to add it, mix mayo with the soy sauce and spread in an even layer on top of the salmon.
Tips & tricks
You don't have to cook salmon all the way through if you know that your salmon is safe to eat underdone. This is usually the case for farmed salmon and salmon that has been frozen before cooking, but please check what's recommended for the type you're using.
Don't overcook the salmon, if you want it cooked through, make sure it's just so
Cook time will vary depending on your oven. If you know yours is "fast", remove it after 18 minutes and check.
Furikake salmon is delicious both hot and cold - cold you can use it to make your own sushi rolls, or serve in a salad or poke bowl
