Equipment

  • baking sheet or air fryer
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Bowl
  • spoon or brush
  • Oven or Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skinless about 460 g; use 4 thin fillets or 2 thick fillets
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons furikake

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Let the salmon sit at room temperature while it heats.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and soy sauce until smooth.
  • Place the salmon fillets skinless side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet or on a parchment square for the air fryer.
  • Spread the wasabi-mayo mixture evenly over the top of each fillet using a spoon or brush.
  • Sprinkle furikake evenly over the coated salmon fillets.
  • If using an oven, bake on the center rack: cook 6–8 minutes for four thin fillets or 8–10 minutes for two thick fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  • If using an air fryer, place fillets in the basket with space between them and cook 6–8 minutes for four thin fillets or 8–10 minutes for two thick fillets, until cooked through.

Notes

  • Recipe uses 1 lb (≈460 g) of salmon; choose 4 thin or 2 thick fillets.
  • Kewpie mayo works well but use your preferred full-fat mayonnaise.
  • Do not use low-fat mayonnaise as it can affect cooking results.
