Mix together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup. Spread over salmon fillet and bake at 375 degrees until just cooked - 12 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness.
A great Sicilian sauce, and easy as, well, pie: Salmoriglio, made by mixing 3 T ev olive oil (preferably Sicilian, try Olio Verde or Titone), with 1 T fresh lemon juice, sea salt and ground pepper to taste, and then a healthy pinch, rubbed between your fingers, of oregano from Sicily, Greece, or the island of Pantelleria. So easy, so little fuss so delicious. Recipe, if you need to check, is in The Essential Mediterranean.
Chipotle mayo is my favorite new shrimp and fish go-to cold sauce. I add about a TBSP of chopped canned chipotles in adobo to half a cup of mayo( Hellman's) and let it sit in the frig until cold. It is delicious.You can liven it with lemon or lime juice , zest or both. Much better than tartar sauce ,anyway !!!
I like fermented black bean sauce with scallions. You can buy the bean mixture in a jar, heat with a little oil and scallions in a skillet. Sometimes I add grated ginger to the oil. All of these are very flavorful so a little goes a long way.
i like a mix of soy, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger and honey (optional). dunk fillets or fish steaks on both sides and let fish sit in mixture for a half hour and then bake it in oven in mixture. such a clean, nice flavor.
Make Tzatziki: combine a container of Greek yogurt with lots of grated cucumber, a few cloves of pounded garlic (though a Greek would use far more), salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. It's one of my family's favorite accompaniments to fish and meat, and it also works as a dip for vegetables and bread.
Add a little curry powder to some sour cream or creme fraiche, or yogurt. Great cold in summer or warmed gently in the winter. Also, salmon and teriyaki go together well.
My family's favorite way to cook salmon is to broil it in the oven, wrapped in tinfoil, and covered with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and thinly sliced zucchini. The result is a very light and summery dish and some of the most tender salmon I've ever had!
I usually do this too but I wanted to try some Sort of sauce on top. I had salmon a few weeks ago at a restaurant and they had some sort of white sauce.
