Panfried salmon with cheat’s aioli recipe

Serves:

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets, 150-200g each, skin on
• 10ml (2 tsp) olive oil

For aioli:

• 2/3 cup good quality egg mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
• 1/2 lemon, juice
• 1tsp chives, chopped
• pepper

Method

In a bowl, combine aioli ingredients, mixing well. Set aside.

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.

Serve with roasted cubed potatoes and kumera, steamed green beans and a big dollop of aioli.
