Roasted Salmon and Asparagus with Spicy Mayo and Chives Recipe
Photo: Jenny Rosenstrach
This recipe is for any parent interested in expanding his or her children's dipping repertoire beyond ketchup. (Decoded: Pretty sure this is for everyone!) The sriracha-spiked mayo has some serious umami action, without being too spicy, and takes seconds to come together.
Serves 4
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp. honey
Salt to taste
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into four 6-ounce pieces
1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed, chopped and tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. sriracha (or, to taste)
1 tsp. chopped, fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Preheat oven to 400° F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey and salt. In a shallow roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, nestle the fillets among the prepared asparagus pieces, brush with the olive-oil mixture and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus looks crispy but not burned.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, sriracha and chives. Serve the salmon and asparagus with a dollop of the sauce on the side. Garnish everything with more chives.
