For best results, use high-quality soy sauce and fresh ingredients. Do not overcook the salmon, as it will become dry. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Adjust the amount of wasabi paste according to your spice preference. This recipe pairs well with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
