4T mayonnaise


This is the soybean paste that we prefer to use.


Procedure

2 Using about a quarter of the paste, make a bed of paste for the on a sheet of aluminium foil and then lay the salmon pieces on top.
3 Baste the remaining of the paste on top of the salmon.

That's it. A really great way to serve salmon.
