While looking for different recipes for salmon, I came across this and thought what a wonderful summery way to make salmon.Recipe source: The Turtle Bay Cookbook Ingredients:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed |
1 garlic clove |
4 serrano chilies, roasted and seeded (for a milder dish use jalapenos) |
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
5 tablespoons cilantro, chopped |
1 cup olive oil |
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets |
1 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons peanut oil |
cilantro, garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. To prepare the sauce, using a food processor or blender place mayonnaise, salt, lime juice, garlic, roasted chiles, vinegar and cilantro and process for 1-2 minutes. With the processor still turned on, pour oil through feed tube in a thin stream until all the oil has been incorporated. Transfer sauce to container and refrigerate until ready to use (makes 2 cups sauce-refrigerate leftover sauce).
