Baked Seafood Mayonnaise and Tobiko

I love this baked appetizer but never have the chance to do it until I get some clean scallop shell.Actually I bring back those scallop shell from Malaysia.My mom cooked "Kam Heong(Golden Fragrant )fresh scallop for me,later she wash ,clean and dry those shell before packed it for me to bring home.Mostly Japanese restaurant serve this appetizer but with different ingredients.I recalled when I was working in Japanese restaurant,every table will order this dish.It's also suitable to go with sake while eating this special meal.Well,the problem with this dish is the waiting period.It's have to make when there is an order and must come out fresh and hot.I come across Nobuyuki Matsuhisa recipe book,he do baked this similar dish but with Parmesan cheese.On Memorial Day weekend I make some sushi with Gertrude and I still have some leftover tuna and salmon,so I figure out I should do something with it before it go bad. This is my version of baked fish.Elliot ,Mishu and MIL love it.They finish all within 10 minutes and asking for more!!

100 gm Tuna(sliced)

100 gm Salmon( sliced)

This appetizer is ideal for party or formal dinner.We all love this appetizer,quite unique and refreshing.But remember to eat it while it's still hot and warm.Actually this dish is really easy to prepare,no cooking or stirring need.Enjoy eating!!.
