Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet and ensure the salmon is fully thawed.
Add the kewpie mayo and wasabi paste to a small bowl, then mix well until combined. Pat the salmon with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then use a spoon to spread the mayo mixture on top in an even layer.
Sprinkle the furikake over the salmon, ensuring there are no bare spots.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is flaky and fully cooked (145 degrees F internal temperature). Serve hot with your preferred sides or toppings, such as sliced green onions or extra furikake.

Adjust your appliance's settings to preheat the basket, then continue with Steps 2 and 3 above.
Place the salmon in the basket, leaving space for air to circulate between each piece. Cook at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, making sure the salmon is fully cooked and flaky before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days. To reheat, microwave in short (15-30) second increments until heated through.
