Furikake Salmon with Crab

I was so happy when the Taste Bud x Pono Hawaiian Nori Komi Furikake Rice Seasoning arrived because I’ve been hella craving Furikake Salmon! With all the holiday eats lately, it felt really nice to switch it up with some good ol’ salmon for a quick and eazy weeknight dinner. The sweet, salty, and umami taste of the furikake added so much texture and flavor to the broiled creamy and moist Furikake salmon!

I like to take my Furikake Salmon to the next level by topping it with a crab and mayo mixture instead of just mayo. Additionally, I added a little cream cheese to the mixture and made it extra creamy and yummy!

Furikake Salmon is such a great dish and there are so many ways it can be enjoyed. Mrs. No Limit and I kept it low carb by making little tacos using roasted seaweed snacks and I made the girls lunch plates with two scoops of rice and salad.

Furikake Salmon Ingredients:
1.5 pounds salmon filet portions
8 ounces imitation crab mixture
1 cup Taste Bud x Pono Hawaiian Nori Komi Furikake Rice Seasoning
1 tablespoon Aloha Shoyu or soy sauce
Sriracha for drizzle
Unagi sauce for drizzle
Kewpie Mayo for drizzle

Crab Mixture Ingredients:
8 ounces imitation crab, chopped and shredded
1/2 cup Kewpie Mayo, more for drizzle
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Preheat Oven – Preheat convectional oven to Broil.

Make Mayo mixture – In a small bowl, combine imitation crab, Kewpie Mayo, cream cheese, sesame oil, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and mix well.

Prepare Salmon – Pat dry salmon.  Marinate with Aloha Shoyu for 30 minutes. Spread crab mixture on top of the salmon filet.  Generously sprinkle Furikake Rice Seasoning to cover salmon.

Tips:

• Use more or less mayo depending on how creamy you want it
