Panfried salmon with cheat's aioli recipe

Fresh fish is always a treat, and this dead easy garlicky sauce makes it all the more special. It's a bit of a cheat on a real aioli, but just make sure you choose the best quality store-bought mayonnaise and no-one needs to know.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets

    150-200g each, skin on

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • ⅔ cup good quality egg mayonnaise

  • 1 clove garlic

    crushed

  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard

  • 1/2 lemon

    juice

  • 1 tsp chives

    chopped

  • pepper

Equipment

  • 1 bowl
  • 1 frypan

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine aioli ingredients, mixing well. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large frypan over high heat. Brush salmon fillets with oil, season with pepper, and salt the skin very well. Place skin-side down in fry pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Gently turn and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
  3. Serve with roasted cubed potatoes and kumera, steamed green beans and a big dollop of aioli.

Notes

Tip
If salmon is unavailable, use ocean trout.
