FRESH SALMON MEDALLIONS
Not only will I show you an easy and delicious way to make salmon, I'm going to show you what I think is a very clever technique for turning the least desirable cut of salmon into something absolutely fabulous. Basically, this is one of those "when life gives you lemons" lessons. Serve on top of a shaved cucumber salad and sprinkle with more cayenne pepper if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Place salmon tail skin-side down onto a paper towel. Place a knife at the point of the tail; use a sawing motion to carefully cut the salmon away from the skin. Trim off any connective tissue. Cut salmon in half lengthwise into 2 equal pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise into 3 long strips.
- Place 1 strip of salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Wind the strip into a spiral, with the thickest part in the center. Overlap the thin end of a second strip over the first; wrap around the spiral. Position the third strip in a way that maintains the circular shape. Repeat with the other 3 strips to form the second medallion.
- Fold a 15x4-inch piece of aluminum foil a few times to make a long strip about 1 1/2-inches wide. Rub the foil with the remaining oil and wrap it around the outside edges of a salmon medallion, creating a collar. Pinch foil together and make sure salmon is as round and uniformly thick as possible. Repeat with the second medallion.
- Mix mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
- Season the tops of the medallions with salt; spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each one.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil.

- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over high. Add mustard seeds, and reduce heat to medium; simmer until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain using a fine wire-mesh strainer; transfer mustard seeds to a small bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup oil, lemon juice, Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Brush salmon tails all over with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange tails evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until tails are lightly charred and meat pulls away with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time. Increase oven temperature to broil; broil until tails and skin are charred, about 3 minutes. Transfer tails to plates.
- Toss together mixed herbs and half of the mustard dressing in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide salad among plates with salmon. Serve immediately, passing remaining dressing at the table.
