Ingredients for - Fresh Salmon Medallions
How to cook deliciously - Fresh Salmon Medallions
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
2. Stage
Place salmon tail skin-side down onto a paper towel. Place a knife at the point of the tail; use a sawing motion to carefully cut the salmon away from the skin. Trim off any connective tissue. Cut salmon in half lengthwise into 2 equal pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise into 3 long strips.
3. Stage
Place 1 strip of salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Wind the strip into a spiral, with the thickest part in the center. Overlap the thin end of a second strip over the first; wrap around the spiral. Position the third strip in a way that maintains the circular shape. Repeat with the other 3 strips to form the second medallion.
4. Stage
Fold a 15x4-inch piece of aluminum foil a few times to make a long strip about 1 1/2-inches wide. Rub the foil with the remaining oil and wrap it around the outside edges of a salmon medallion, creating a collar. Pinch foil together and make sure salmon is as round and uniformly thick as possible. Repeat with the second medallion.
5. Stage
Mix mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
6. Stage
Season the tops of the medallions with salt; spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each one.
7. Stage
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil.
