Instructions
Wasabi Mayonnaise
- Whisk the wasabi powder and the water together to form a paste. Let sit 5 minutes to develop the flavors
- Whisk together the mayonnaise and wasabi paste.
Baked Salmon
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the butter in a large glass or ceramic baking dish and set in the oven to melt.
- Once the oven is preheated and the butter is melted, place the salmon, skin-side down in the pan. Spoon some of the melted butter overtop and sprinkle with the garlic powder and the salt. Place the pan back in the oven.
