Recipe type: Salmon
Cuisine: French
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • ½ lb. salmon, cut into 2 large pieces
  • 8 asparagus
  • Oilve oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Aioli sauce:
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 pasteurized egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. First, make aioli sauce. Place garlic, mustard, egg yolks and dill in a food processor or a blender. Blend until combined.
  2. While running, slowly add the olive oil until completely combined. Pour it slowly into the holes on top of my food processor. Keep blending until you get the consistency of mayonnaise.
  3. Stop the food processor, add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Pulse a few more times until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, pulse again. Set aside.
  4. Season salmon and asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  5. Heat up cast iron grill. If you don't have it, a regular non-stick pan would be o.k. Once it's hot, place the salmon in the pan, skin side down. I like crispy salmon skin, but if you don't like the skin, you can slice it off.
  6. Place asparagus on the grill. You can grill both salmon and asparagus at the same time if you have room on the grill.
  7. Cook salmon about 4 minutes on each side. For asparagus, depending on how big they are, flip them once or twice until they turn dark green in color.
  8. To serve, spread the aioli sauce on top of salmon. Enjoy!
