Prepare the gochujang marinade: In a glass food storage container (6 cup or more), stir together the sesame seeds, spices, oil, gochujang, chili garlic, Togarashi (if using), soy sauce and maple syrup.

Slice salmon into ¼ inch thick pieces. Add to the prepared marinade. Mix until all the fish is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 8-12 hours.

Preheat oven to 170°F. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper.

Arrange the marinated fish, in a single layer, onto the prepared sheet pans.

Cook for 10-12 hours, until your desired texture level. After a couple of hours of cooking, carefully flip the fish. Separate any pieces that may have stuck together. Rotate the pans and return to the oven. Monitor occasionally.
