Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Cut the salmon fillet into 4 or 5 large pieces and place in food processor. Pulse about 6 times, add the smoked salmon and pulse another 4 or 5 times, stopping while the fish still has some texture. Transfer the salmon to a medium bowl and add the scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, bread crumbs and eggs. Mix with spoon or hands until well combined.
Shape salmon mixture into load about 8 inches long, 3 inches wide and 2 inches high, and place in prepared pan. Pour the black and white sesame seeds into a cup and mix them. Sprinkle seeds evenly over top of the loaf. Press lightly to make the seeds adhere.
Oil a 9" x 12" baking pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until loaf feels springy to the touch. In a small bowl, whisk the wasabi into the mayonnaise,1/2 teaspoon at a time. Add 1 teaspoon water 1/2 teaspoon at a time, and stir until mayo has the consistency of a sauce.
Fold in chives before serving.
