Seared Salmon with Spicy Red Pepper Aioli image

Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 tablespoon (canned) chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers, seeded and chopped
1 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless, center-cut salmon fillets
Good olive oil
1 lime, quartered, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the aioli, chop the garlic and chipotle pepper together on a cutting board to make a coarse paste. Place the paste in a food processor, add the lime juice and roasted red peppers, and purée. Add the mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and process until smooth. Set aside.
For the salmon, place a large (12-inch), dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on a board, pat dry with paper towels, and rub all over with olive oil. With the fillets rounded side up, sprinkle them with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Place the salmon in the skillet rounded side down and cook over medium-high heat for exactly 2 minutes without moving! Using a large metal spatula, turn the fillets rounded side up and place the skillet in the oven. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes, until the centers are rare. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare or 5 minutes for medium. Serve the salmon hot with the aioli and a wedge of lime for squeezing.
