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

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).
