Best Baked Salmon Ever!

Don't really know if this is true but if you come up with a better name let me know.

Big chunk of salmon (with skin is ok. I think one piece is better than lots of pieces.)
Mr. Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce (I get it at Costco in CA but Krista and Miriam used teriyaki sauce instead and thought it was ok)
furikake (Japanese sprinkle stuff you put on top of rice- any kind you like)
wasabe mayonnaise (this is essential! unless you loathe wasabe... :>( )

Oven at 350F
Pick the baking pan to fit your piece of fish. For a really long piece of fish I use my rimmed sheet pan. Watch out for sauce spillage when removing from the oven.
Pour Mr. Yo's sauce into the pan. Cover the bottom with the sauce.
Place washed and dried fish into pan on top of the sauce.
Dot with wasabe mayonnaise
Sprinkle furikake all over the top of the fish.
Using a chopstick, poke holes all over the fish.
Bake about 30 min, until flaky and a good "salmon pink" color.
People really seem to like this dish, and it's easy so it's great to wow the guests, providing the salmon isn't too expensive, of course!
