Recipe Ingredients
- Salmon – For this recipe, I used Scottish salmon. Scottish salmon works well because it is fattier than sockeye. It also is mild flavored, which I typically prefer. Be sure to remove any pin bones. You can leave the skin on or remove it, whichever you prefer.
- Cream Cheese Mayonnaise Mixture – Combine room temperature cream cheese, kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, and low sodium soy sauce in a bowl. Once well combined, slather it over the salmon and bake.
- Rice – You can use white, basmati or brown rice for this recipe. Cook according to the package.
- Vegetables – For this recipe, use chopped green onion, sliced avocado, and sliced cucumbers.
- Toppings – Be sure to top everything with toasted sesame seeds and furikake. If you do not have furikake handy, crushed nori will work fine too. Option to serve this recipe with a few slices of lime and torn cilantro.
- Wasabi Soy Mayonnaise – In a small mixing bowl, combine kewpie mayonnaise, low sodium soy sauce, wasabi paste, kosher salt and a touch of warm water. This sauce is perfect for drizzling over the fish. If you’re new to kewpie mayonnaise, it is a Japanese mayonnaise that is known for its rich, velvety texture. It’s perfect for this recipe.

I started eating cleaner in January and this recipe got me through months of clean eating and fat loss. My husband looked forward to eating it almost every week. I modified the smear on the salmon to :low fat mayo, laughing cow wedges, sriracha, low sodium soy sauce. Almost tastes the exact same but cut out some fats and calories. Love this dish
Delish! And super easy to make. My husband asked that this recipe be permanently added to the rotation!
