🥄 Texture
The seared exterior of the salmon develops a light golden crust while the inside remains moist and flaky, breaking into tender layers with each bite. The creamy spicy mayo coats the pieces for a silky mouthfeel and the sliced green onion adds a delicate, crisp contrast.
👃 Aroma
Warm, roasted salmon gives a rich, slightly buttery and savory scent, while gochujang contributes a fermented chili sweetness and subtle depth. Soy sauce amplifies the savory base and green onion provides a fresh, sharp top note.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Chilled dry Riesling, a light pilsner, or a cold junmai ginjo sake
