Cooking Lab - Baked Mentaiyaki with Scallops and Salmon (明太子創意料理 - 帆立と鮭の明太焼き)

Mentaiyaki is a special Japanese dish that is not commonly available. It is considered a delicate gourmet and the price can fetch up to $30 for a small 'not-too-generous' dish. 

The best thing is that you can make this at home and have it at anytime. It is relatively simple and the taste is utterly delicious.
