This was very good - the salmon was perfectly moist. I will try making the mayonnaise/wasabi mixture ahead and letting it sit, hopefully letting the flavors blend. The mayonnaise flavor was too strong for me - and I am a mayonnaise lover. I did double the wasabi powder in the mayonnaise to get it to have enough heat for us. Thanks for sharing!

Was very good. I at least doubled the wasabi and it still wasn't hot enough for me. I like to feel the burn in my sinuses. LOL I grilled over natural lump charcoal and feel this is key to some of the flavor. Don't skip the wasabi mayo!! YUM!!

Very nice! I used a salmon cutlet and pan-fried because it was a bit cool outside and it came out a treat. I used a little more wasabi powder with the mayonnaise because it was the pure form which is a bit milder, I think the posted quantity would be spot on for the stronger horseradish based powders. It had a nice subtle wasabi flavor that didn't overpower the salmon in any way.
