Ingredients

  • 3 Ancho Chilies
  • 3 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • Coarse Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 whole side Salmon Fillet
  • 2 cups tightly packed Basil Leaves
  • 3 teaspoons chopped Garlic
  • 1 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon coarse Salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly Ground Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Salad Greens of choice, as needed

Instructions

  • Place ancho chilies in 1 cup boiling water to rehydrate.
  • When plump, slit chilies and scrape out seeds. Discard seeds.
  • In a food processor, combine chilies, canola oil, brown sugar, salt and freshly ground pepper. Process until ingredients form a paste.
  • Spread chili paste over whole salmon fillet. Using your fingers (wearing rubber gloves if you like), massage paste into fish.
  • Allow salmon to marinate, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.
  • When ready to enjoy, Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place fish on an ungreased pan. Place in oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
  • While fish is cooking, make the sauce. Combine basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, to taste, in the work bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth.
  • To serve, mound salad greens in the center of a serving plate. Top with salmon. Generously drizzle with basil sauce.
