Add your Preference of Salt to the Fish
Add enough Togarashi to coat the top side of the fish.
1. Season your Fish on the Tray that you are cooking it on. Any of the seasoning that falls off will add aromatics when baked, along with adding flavor to the butter
Add a few knobs of Butter to the top of the salmon
Place your Baking pan with the salmon inside on the middle rack.
Cook Just until the White Juices start to pool on top of the Salmon
1. Depending on the thickness of your salmon, this could take anywhere from 7-15 mins
2. Keep an eye on it, Fish Cooks Fast
Internal Temperature roughly between 130°F - 140°F
1. I Prefer my salmon on the Medium Rare Side, Roughly 120°F
Remove Baking pan from oven, Allow to rest for about 3-5 Minutes.
Use Metal Spatula to remove from baking tray to your plate, then pour the remaining Butter and Juices on top!!

Cooking Tips

Do not overcook, we want the vegetables to be tender to the tooth. Depending on heat source, may change cooking times.
Taste your pan sauce, add additional Togarashi, Salt, Heat or Honey if needed
If too much liquid remains – you can pour it out into another pan to reduce, or add a small amount of Corn Starch or Arrowroot (this will thicken up your stir fry sauce).
