Ingredients




3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you like things zippy!)
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard (please don't use that bright yellow shit)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (or use table salt, but I don't...Alton Brown shamed me out of it)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 salmon fillets

Preparation

1 Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. 2 Line a baking dish with aluminum foil, then brush the foil with a light sheen of olive oil (we hate when the fish sticks, yes we do). 3 Mix the garlic, pepper, and olive oil together thoroughly - use a mortar and pestle if you have it, but if not, just be thorough - then add the mustard, lime, salt, and pepper and mix well. 4 Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish and coat top of the salmon (that you've placed skin down, please) with the olive oil mixture. 5 Bake salmon 25 minutes or until fish is easily flaked with a fork. 6 Garlic Lemon Mayo Sauce 7 Ingredients - exactly what it sounds like the ingredients would be. 8 I used about 1/4 of mayo (use light or fat free if you must, but I used full fat mayo, alright??), 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and about 1 T of lemon juice. Mix well and let sit a bit so the flavors mix together. 9 Once fish is done, spoon a small amount onto the fillet of salmon. It's a nice little garnish. 10 I served this with steamed asparagus that I lightly buttered and sprinkled with kosher salt. 11 IT WAS FANTASTIC. 12 FANTASTIC, I TELL YOU.
