What you need:
Butter Ponzu Sauce:
Garnish (optional):

- Open the cans of silver salmon and strain the soy sauce into a small sauce pan. Keep the soy sauce aside.
- Spoon the salmon into a bowl and add in the yuzu kosho paste and Mayonnaise. Mix well.
- To make the dressing, add yuzu ponzu, water, the soy sauce from the cans with the butter into a small saucepan. Gently heat till all the butter is melted. Once combined, remove your dressing from the heat and set aside.
- To plate, twirl your Somen noodles into a serving plate/bowl and pile the salmon on top. Garnish with vegetables and Ikura. Drizzle the dressing over and serve immediately.
