Baked green mussels are an appetizer made popular at sushi restaurants.  Mussels are served on the half shell with a creamy sauce made from mayonnaise and sriracha hot sauce.  They are placed under the broiler for a few minutes until the dynamite sauce bubbles and turns golden brown.  Serve your baked green mussels with thinly sliced green onion and masago.
