**SMOKED MEATS** CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE - CHECK BACK SOON
A relatively simple weeknight dinner, this dish brings the flavor! We discovered furikake seasoning a couple of years ago and now find it an indispensable condiment in the kitchen. It comes in numerous flavors the most common consisting of dried seaweed (nori), sesame seeds, red pepper, and other seasonings. In Japan it is usually offered as a topping for rice. Delicious and versatile it is used to coat the salmon in this dish.
We like to buy the wild caught Coho Salmon as it just has better flavor. The sourcing of farmed salmon to me is well, questionable. So yes, we pay a little extra for wild caught. It just tastes better and has a better texture. This is served with a cucumber salad and persian rice.
4 salmon fillets, approx. 4 oz.
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cups your favorite furikake
Heat an oven to 350°F
In a bowl, combine dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Using a brush, coat the salmon fillets in a thin layer of the mustard rub.
Pour the furikake onto a small sheet pan, and roll the salmon fillets in the furikake until each fillet is completely coated.
Transfer the salmon onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and serve warm with rice and cucumber salad.
