Scrumptious Seafood: Pink salmon baked with tartar sauce

In the last week we’ve written quite a bit about this year’s plentiful pink salmon run. Below is a recipe from the BC Salmon Marketing Council that looks delicious. I rarely buy mayonnaise; I feel homemade is always better and it’s so easy to whip up — all you need is egg yolks (at room temperature), a neutral-tasting oil, salt, and lemon. If you have time, try this recipe with homemade mayonnaise!

Ingredients
4 – 6 oz boneless, skinless wild BC pink salmon fillets
4 – 175g sea salt

Tartar Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp dried dill
3 Tbsp finely chopped cornichons (gherkins)
1 Tbsp finely chopped stuffed green olives
1 Tbsp finely chopped shallots
1 Tbsp finely chopped capers
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F/200° C.
  • Prepare the tartar sauce by combining the mayonnaise,
    dill, cornichons, olives, shallots, capers, parsley, lemon
    juice and mustard until well blended.
  • Season the wild BC pink salmon fillets with salt and
    let them sit for 10 minutes. Place the salmon on a lined
    baking sheet and spread a tablespoon of tartar sauce over
    each piece.
  • Bake at 400° F/200° C for 7 minutes until just slightly
    under done, or 10 minutes until salmon is cooked through
    and just flakes when pressed with a fork.
  • Serve with the remaining tartar sauce on the side.

Recipe serves 4.
