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.

GINGER AIOLI



Ginger Aioli image

This tempting, garlicky sauce has an Asian touch to it. I like to serve it with crab and fish cakes, and as a dip with mushrooms, baby corn, daikon radish slices, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, yellow bell pepper slices, and cherry tomatoes. For a beautiful presentation, hollow out a small purple cabbage in which to place a container of the aioli - outstanding with the colorful veggies. The sauce may be prepared a week in advance.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups mayonnaise (for best flavor, do not substitute)
1 piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
  • Chill at least an hour to blend flavors and thicken the aioli.
  • NOTE: I've had good luck freezing fresh ginger knobs.
  • They peel easily with a knife while still frozen, and grate easily with a microplane grater- just freeze small recipe size pieces individually (I put each piece in its own sandwich zip bag, then place all the bags inside a quart size freezer zip bag).
  • The 60 minutes cooking time is for chilling.
