Method

  • step 1

    Blacken the whole garlic and the onion slices on all sides in a large, dry non-stick frying pan. Remove, cool briefly, then peel the garlic cloves. Soak the ancho chilli in boiling water for 15 mins, drain, then place in a blender with the sugar, cider vinegar, garlic, onion and some salt and pepper. Whizz to a smooth sauce.

  • step 2

    Heat the grill. Brush each salmon fillet liberally with the sauce and save any remaining. Grill for 8 mins. Meanwhile, mix the lime zest with the crème fraîche. Serve the fish with extra chilli sauce, a dollop of the crème fraîche and lime wedges for squeezing over. Sprinkle with coriander, if you like, and serve with green beans or rice and a salad.

The combination of the fish, the sauce and the limey crème fraîche is absolutely excellent. Each bit on its own is nice enough, but it really comes together on the plate as the flavours set each other off and enhance each other at the same time. Whoever created this recipe is a genius.

Easy and tasty dish. Very quick to prepare which was a pleasant surprise. I used a whole fresh chili for 2 person quantity. Probably cut down on sugar next time as we don't have a particularly sweet tooth. Other than that, made recipe exactly as directed. Having friends for dinner and will be making…
