SEARED SALMON WITH SPICY RED PEPPER AIOLI

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.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
• Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

SALMON FILLETS WITH SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Core and remove the seeds from the red peppers. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes or strips.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon steaks in one layer.
• Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks in the pan and cook over high heat until they are lightly browned, about a minute and a half on each side. The time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish and the doneness desired.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter. Leave the cooking butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and the red peppers. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the wine, reduce by half, add the cream and cook, stirring over medium high heat until reduced again by half. Check the seasoning.
• Add the salmon steaks, the chopped dill and any juices that have accumulated around the steaks, and bring to a simmer. Cook one minute. Do not overcook. Serve immediately with the dill for decoration.
