Scallion-crusted salmon with onion mayonnaise is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon with the savory taste of scallions and a creamy onion-infused mayonnaise. This recipe is perfect for a quick yet elegant meal and is loaded with protein and flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onions and divide them into two equal portions.
- In a small bowl, mix one portion (40g) of the chopped onions with the mayonnaise. Stir well to combine.
- Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel.
- Season both sides of the salmon with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Take the remaining portion (40g) of the finely chopped onions and press them onto the top side of the salmon fillet to create a crust. Use your hands to gently press the onions so they stick to the fish.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the salmon, onion-crusted side down, in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the onions are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.
- Spoon the onion mayonnaise over the top of the salmon or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- If desired, garnish the dish with some fresh scallions or a wedge of lemon for added flair.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Scallion-Crusted Salmon with Onion Mayonnaise!
Tips:
- Make sure to pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before seasoning it; this helps the scallion crust adhere better.
- For a more intense onion flavor in the mayonnaise, consider caramelizing the onions before blending them with the mayo.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon; it should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Overcooking can make the fish dry and tough.
- If you prefer a finer texture for the scallion crust, pulse the scallions in a food processor before pressing them onto the salmon.
- For an added crunch, you can mix panko breadcrumbs with the chopped scallions before applying the mixture to the salmon.
This scallion-crusted salmon with onion mayonnaise is sure to become a favorite in your household. The crispiness of the scallion crust complemented by the creamy onion mayonnaise makes for an irresistible combination. Serve it with your choice of sides, and enjoy a delicious, healthy meal that's both quick and easy to prepare.
