Like I said in the Sesame Salmon post, I love, love, love salmon and have quite a few recipes I am stockpiling to add to my blog! Today's salmon recipe is a poached salmon sandwich with homemade garlic and caper aioli. Aioli is a classic French garlic-mayo dressing.
This was pretty easy to make, and did not take long, about 15-20 minutes. I served mine with sweet potato fries. I only had Rye bread on hand, but this would have been a hundred times better if I had fresh ciabatta as it is a heartier, stronger bread (the rye bread I used fell apart quickly under the weight and moisture of the salmon).
Poached Salmon Sandwich
1 Salmon fillet
2 TBSP lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP fresh minced garlic
salt and pepper
2 slices Ciabatta bread
Rinse salmon, pat dry and sprinkle with the olive oil and salt & and pepper.
In a small pan, add the lemon, wine, and garlic and bring to a simmering boil, add the salmon. Cook until it is as done as you like it. Set on the bread and cover in the aioli, top with your favourite toppings.
Garlic & Caper Aioli
1/4 cup light mayo
1 TBSP fresh minced garlic
1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
1-2 TBSP capers with juice (use more or less depending on how many capers you want, I love them so I used 2 TBSP)
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
