Instructions
- 1Make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the ponzu, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, sesame oil and cornstarch. Season the salmon all over with the salt and place it in the bowl with marinade, toss until coated and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- 2Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the mayonnaise, ponzu, brown sugar, pepper, sesame seeds, sesame oil, ginger and salt to a small food processor and blend until smooth.
- 3Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with foil. When the salmon is done marinating, place skin side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake until easily flakes with a fork, about 12-14 minutes depending on thickness.
- 4Divide the rice, lettuce, beets and carrots between 4 bowls. Place one salmon fillet (discard the skin if needed) onto each bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the wonton strips and the sesame seeds.
