After making Japanese Sweet Potato Fries with furikake seasoning, I thought the seasoning would pair wonderfully with salmon. Once I tried it, I was hooked and I know you will be too!

If you haven't heard of furikake seasoning, it's a seasoning that contains sesame seeds, seaweed and salt. I purchased it from Trader Joe's. I will leave a photo below for reference. You can also purchase it from Amazon HERE.

If you don't have access to furikake seasoning, make your own version! First, cut nori seaweed sheets into tiny strips. Combine the seaweed with toasted sesame seeds, salt and any other additions you would like such as chili flakes. That's it!

how to make furikake salmon

Expert Tips

Use salmon fillets similar in size for even cooking.

Cook salmon skin side down.

Add sesame oil on the salmon first so the seasoning sticks.

I've noticed that wild salmon and farm raised salmon vary in cooking time due to the size difference. Typically, farm raised salmon is thicker and takes a little longer to cook. Wild salmon can very easily be over cooked so keep an eye on it. For reference, I used wild salmon in the photos.

Serve the salmon over white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice or vegetables. Healthy Quinoa Veggie Fried "Rice" would also pair so well!
