FURIKAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a spice grinder, pulse sesame seeds 1 or 2 times so that the seeds are partially ground, leaving some whole, taking care they grind quickly.
• Place seeds in a cast iron pan (or sauté pan) on low heat, stirring every minute or so until they become fragrant and lightly toasted, 7-8 minutes.
• Stack, fold and cut nori into small strips then cut into small pieces, or you can also crumble with your hands.
• Add to sesame seeds in a small bowl, along with salt and sugar.
• Add any additional ingredients ( see ideas and get creative!)
• Store in an air tight container for up to 6 months.

SESAME SALMON WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND PEA SHOOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut out four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment; fold each in half crosswise to form a crease, then open.
• Combine soy sauce, ginger, and lemon juice, and toss with mushrooms. Divide evenly among 4 parchment pieces, arranging mixture on 1 side of each crease. Lay 1 salmon fillet on top of each pile. Season each with 1/8 teaspoon salt and the sesame oil. Fold parchment over ingredients; make overlapping pleats to seal.
• Bake on 2 baking sheets (2 packets per sheet) for 10 to 11 minutes for medium-rare or 12 minutes for medium. Unwrap; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Top with pea shoots.
