Salmon Flakes
Report
Lightly seasoned Salmon Flakes are a great all-purpose topping or filling. It‘s so delicious and easy to make at home, too. Prepare a batch ahead of time and use it on steamed rice, pasta, gratin, tamagoyaki, and more!

Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon (fillets, with or without skin; I used sockeye salmon, but you can use other types; I like that sockeye has a firm texture and doesn‘t crumble easily)
- ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (plus more, as needed)
- 1 Tbsp sake
- 1 Tbsp mirin
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
To Bake the Salmon
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF (218ºC). Sprinkle ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt over 1 lb salmon fillets and set aside for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the excess moisture with a paper towel. Transfer the fillets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the salmon at 425ºF (218ºC) for 10 minutes (5 minutes per ½-inch thickness). Remove from the oven.
- Using chopsticks or a fork, break the salmon into flakes. You can do this directly on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Remove the skin and bones, if any.
To Season the Salmon Flakes
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and coat the pan well. Add the flaked salmon to the pan.
- Add 1 Tbsp sake and 1 Tbsp mirin and stir well. Let the alcohol evaporate.
- Add 2 tsp soy sauce and stir to combine. Let the moisture evaporate.
- Transfer to a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds. Set aside to cool. Store in an airtight jar once the salmon is completely cool. Your Salmon Flakes are ready to use.
To Store
- You can store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for a month.
