Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 garlic cloves , unpeeled
1 small onion , cut into thick slices
1 ancho chilli or large red dried chilli, deseeded and trimmed
4 tbsp soft brown sugar
4 tbsp cider vinegar
4 x 150g skinless salmon fillets
1 lime , zested, then cut into wedges
200g crème fraîche or soured cream
chopped coriander , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Blacken the whole garlic and the onion slices on all sides in a large, dry non-stick frying pan. Remove, cool briefly, then peel the garlic cloves. Soak the ancho chilli in boiling water for 15 mins, drain, then place in a blender with the sugar, cider vinegar, garlic, onion and some salt and pepper. Whizz to a smooth sauce.
  • Heat the grill. Brush each salmon fillet liberally with the sauce and save any remaining. Grill for 8 mins. Meanwhile, mix the lime zest with the crème fraîche. Serve the fish with extra chilli sauce, a dollop of the crème fraîche and lime wedges for squeezing over. Sprinkle with coriander, if you like, and serve with green beans or rice and a salad.
