Author Notes
I got this recipe form my mom and it has became one of my favorite ways to prepare salmon. It's super easy and fast to prepare and the result is amazing. Mayonnaise ensures that the salmon remains succulent, while the sweetness and tanginess from the ketchup perfectly complements and balances the richness of the salmon. All of this is topped with loads of chopped cilantro and scallion to provide not only freshness, and an extra dimension of flavor, but also textural contrast. It always amazes me that so few elements can be brought together so quickly into something so good. —Cookinginchinglish
