Spicy Salmon Sandwich With Ginger Peperoncini Aioli Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. Season salmon with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.
• 2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• 3. Sauté salmon flesh side first about 4-5 min. Turn over and sauté skin side approx 3-4 min. Drain on paper towels.
• 4. To make aioli, mix all ingredients together and season to taste with salt & pepper. Set aside. You can make this ahead and store in the fridge.
• 5. To assemble: Toast buns and spread each side with aioli. Stack lettuce, tomato, onion, and bacon. Place a salmon filet on each stack. Top with remaining bun. Cut in half and enjoy.

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.

Steps:

• For aioli, stir together mayonnaise, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Add water and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice to a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Put a steamer rack inside and spray with cooking spray. Arrange salmon fillets, skin sides down, on the prepared rack (fillets may overlap slightly).
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Salmon should flake easily with a fork.
• Sprinkle salmon with remaining salt and pepper. Spread cut sides of buns with aioli. Serve salmon in buns with arugula.
