What is Furikake?
Furikake is a Japanese seasoning blend typically made with sesame seeds, dried seaweed, salt, sugar, and sometimes dried fish flakes. It’s designed to sprinkle over rice—but it also happens to be incredible on salmon.
When baked, the sesame seeds toast up and the seaweed gets crisp. It’s a delicious topping for this salmon recipe.
Here are a few serving suggestions to make this dish a meal-
- Serve the salmon over a fluffy bowl of white rice, with a side of avocado and thinly sliced cucumbers topped with chili crisp
- Enjoy it with a salad, like my Thai inspired salad with spicy peanut sauce
- Serve it over these Spicy Tahini Noodles for a little kick
