Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Equipments:

  • Air Fryer
  • Oven

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Salmon Fillet
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
  • tablespoon Paprika

For the Top Crust:

  • ½ cup Panko crumbs
  • 2 tablespoon Furikake + more for garnishing
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions:

Prep the Salmon:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees or (preheat the air fryer). Cut your salmon fillet into individual portions.
  • Brush a baking tray with 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Place salmon skin side down on the oiled baking tray. Brush the flesh of the salmon with sesame oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ white pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the panko crumbs with 2 tablespoon furikake, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Spread mayonnaise evenly using a butter knife or a spoon. Place the Furikake / Panko crumbs on top of the salmon fillets and sprinkle with paprika.
    For the furikake seasoning to stick well to the fish, it's essential to use firm, oily fish.  
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until fish is cooked through but still flaky. Note: baking time depends on the thickness of the salmon fillets.
    For your air fryer Salmon Furikake, use fillet cuts with the same thickness of 1 ½ inch. If frozen, place them at room temperature to thaw before cooking.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the fillets with a little bit more furikake. Drizzle with homemade teriyake sauce. Serve warm with a side of steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.

Notes:

1.) For a toasty, browned crumbs. Just pre-toast the crumbs. Simply dump the panko crumbs in a hot, dry skillet and stir continuously until you’ll get that toasty beautiful brown breadcrumbs. I normally, toast a big batch and store it on the fridge for future use. Best used for baking food like veggies and fish or even steaks.
