• Rinse salmon and pat dry. Remove any bones that are sticking out.
• Rinse limes.
• Put 3/4 cup mayonnaise in medium bowl.
• Cut limes in half. Ream juice of limes into bowl.
• Mix with whisk or fork until smooth, taking care to remove any seeds that get in the bowl. If necessary, add more mayonnaise until mixture is consistency of a smooth, fairly thin cream sauce WITH NO LUMPS.
• When mixture is smooth, add dill to taste. Crumple between fingers before adding to release extra flavor. Add salt to taste. Mix until dill and salt are evenly distributed.
• Add salmon to mayonnaise-lime mixture.
• Prepare a nonstick frying pan: spray with non-stick cooking spray and place on stove over medium-high heat.
• When pan is hot, carefully place salmon in pan. (If you are doing more than two steaks, you may need to do this in shifts, two at a time.) With a pastry brush, brush additional mayonnaise-lime mixture over the top surface and sides of the salmon periodically.
• When salmon is opaque about halfway through and lightly browned (about 2 to 4 minutes), brush salmon once more and flip.
• Brush sides a few more times, then allow to cook through (about 2 to 3 more minutes.) Salmon is done when opaque and firm all the way through the thickest part.
• Remove salmon from pan and serve while very hot!

• Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Layer the top of the salmon with aioli, then with pecans, until completely covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

ASIAN CURED SALMON WITH PRAWNS, PICKLED SALAD & DILL LIME CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Check the fish for bones and, if needed, remove with tweezers. To make the cure, put the lemongrass, 125g sugar, the salt, lime juice, zest of 1 lime, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 garlic clove, the coriander and half of the dill, including stems, into a food processor. Blitz until the lemongrass is finely chopped, then stir in a quarter of the sliced chillies.
• Cross two large pieces of cling film in a roasting tin and spoon on a third of the cure, then top with the fish. Cover the fish with the rest of the cure. Wrap tightly and leave for 36-48 hrs, then scrape off the cure, rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry. The fillet will feel firm.
• On the day of serving, start the other elements of the recipe. Shave the turnips into very thin slices using a mandoline, then plunge them into iced water with a dash of the vinegar. Leave for an hour, then drain well. Thinly slice the onion and mix with the turnip slices, 2 tbsp vinegar, 2 tsp sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover and steep for at least 1 hr, or chill for a few hrs.
• Finely chop the remaining dill leaves and stir most of them into the crème fraîche with the remaining lime zest and a little seasoning, then chill.
• For the dressing, stir together the remaining 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp vinegar, another quarter of the sliced chillies and the crushed garlic and leave until the sugar dissolves.
• Slice the fish into approx 20 slices, taking the knife down to the skin, then easing the blade underneath each piece to remove it.
• When ready to serve, spoon and swoosh the dill crème fraîche down the middle of each plate, then top with overlapping salmon slices. Add 3 prawns per serving. Lift the salad from its juices and mound to one side. Scatter with a little extra dill and the remaining sliced chillies, then drizzle the dressing over the fish and prawns (or let your guests do that bit at the table).
