• Slice salmon into four servings. Place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds. Place in oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches right around 145F.
• While salmon is cooking, prep salad by chopping lettuce and cucumber. To a bowl, add chopped greens, tomatoes, cucumber and mandarin oranges. Add in ginger citrus dressing and toss to coat. Alternatively, you can drizzle the dressing over each individual serving bowl.
• Once salmon is done, remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with the wasabi sauce. Place salmon on top of salad, add a squeeze of lime if desired, and enjoy.

LEFTOVERS: WASABI SALMON SALAD SANDWICH WITH TARO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat a deep fryer to 275 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the Wasabi Aioli, salmon and celery. Check for seasoning. Build the sandwiches on the bread and top with the tomato and lettuce. Slice on the bias. Fry chips until golden brown and crisp. Season lightly with salt.
• Plating: Serve sandwich with taro chips.
• In a food processor, add wasabi paste, garlic, ginger, vinegar and yolks. While processor is on, drizzle in oil, slowly at first until it emulsifies then more quickly. Check for seasoning. Store in refrigerator.
• In a salmon poacher or large sauce pot, mix the sake, celery, carrot, onion, sugar, bay leaves, peppercorns, soy sauce and water to cover. Add the seasoned salmon and slowly bring the liquid to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes then turn off the heat. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes depending on doneness desired. I prefer medium rare (5 minutes). In a blender, add ponzu, shallots, 1/2 tablespoon togarashi, soy and sugar. Blend on high speed and drizzle in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix together fennel, somen and scallions and toss with enough vinaigrette to coat the salad. There will be some left over for plating. Check for seasoning.
• Plating: On a large plate, place a mound of the salad and top with hot salmon. Drizzle on a little of the vinaigrette and garnish with remaining togarashi and fennel fronds.
