Notes
Ingredient notes & substitutions
- Salmon can be fresh or thawed from frozen, either a single large piece or individual salmon filets. It's best to use salmon with the skin on, but if your salmon doesn't have skin just grease the oven dish with butter or vegetable oil before placing the salmon in it.
- Furikake seasoning can be found in some large regular supermarkets, and in Asian supermarkets
- Mayonnaise can be added as well, but I prefer to keep mine on the side. If you want to add it, mix mayo with the soy sauce and spread evenly 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.
- Cook time will vary depending on your oven. If you know your oven 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
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Eat leftovers cold or heat them gently in the microwave or oven - keep in mind that the crisp will be gone
