2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 egg yolks* (See Disclaimer)
1 cup canola oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup sake
1 celery, sliced
1 peeled carrot, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon toasted black peppercorns
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Water to cover
4 (8-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed, center cut
Salt and white pepper to taste
1/2 cup ponzu
3 large sliced shallots
1 tablespoon togarashi, save some for garnish
2 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, shaved, fronds reserved for garnish
1 pound blanched somen noodles
1/2 cup sliced scallions

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.

Tips for Making a Perfect Salmon Salad Sandwich:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a vibrant pink or orange color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy odor.
  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough, while undercooked salmon may contain harmful bacteria.
  • Flake the salmon into small pieces. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients and will help to prevent the sandwich from becoming too dry.
  • Use a high-quality mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is the base of the salmon salad, so it's important to use a good quality product. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, natural ingredients.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. There are many different ingredients that you can add to salmon salad to customize it to your liking. Some popular options include: diced celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, chopped dill, and capers.
  • Season the salad to taste. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for salmon salad, but you can also add other spices or herbs to taste. Some good options include: lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and paprika.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the sandwich more refreshing.
