Easy Furikake Salmon
Easy Furikake Salmon involves salmon fillets topped with a mix of Kewpie mayonnaise, lemon juice, and furikake seasoning combined with black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. The fish is baked until it reaches the desired tenderness, with a slightly moist texture and a savory, umami-rich crust from the seasoning blend. This recipe offers a straightforward way to infuse salmon with Japanese-inspired flavors while keeping preparation minimal. It is well-suited for a quick dinner and pairs well with steamed rice or a simple salad.
