GINGER AIOLI

Ginger Aioli image

This tempting, garlicky sauce has an Asian touch to it. I like to serve it with crab and fish cakes, and as a dip with mushrooms, baby corn, daikon radish slices, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, yellow bell pepper slices, and cherry tomatoes. For a beautiful presentation, hollow out a small purple cabbage in which to place a container of the aioli - outstanding with the colorful veggies. The sauce may be prepared a week in advance.

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups mayonnaise (for best flavor, do not substitute)
1 piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
Chill at least an hour to blend flavors and thicken the aioli.
NOTE: I've had good luck freezing fresh ginger knobs.
They peel easily with a knife while still frozen, and grate easily with a microplane grater- just freeze small recipe size pieces individually (I put each piece in its own sandwich zip bag, then place all the bags inside a quart size freezer zip bag).
The 60 minutes cooking time is for chilling.

Add the remaining 1 tbsp. lemon juice and the peperoncini juice to the zip-lock bag; shake to combine; add fish fillets. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 30-40 minutes.
3. After brushing a little oil on grill heat to medium-high. Carefully grill fish fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until toothpick inserted in the center of fillets comes out dry, or fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Layer lettuce, cucumbers, 2 slices tomato (on each), and salmon fillets*, top with desired amount of sliced peperoncini. Place bun on top and enjoy!! *For easier eating you may flake fish with a fork and distribute evenly over sandwich.

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality ginger for the best flavor.
Peel and mince the ginger finely to ensure it blends smoothly into the aioli.
Use a microplane grater to zest the lemon for a more intense citrus flavor.
Whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together until they are light and fluffy for a creamy, emulsified aioli.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to prevent the aioli from breaking.
Season the aioli to taste with salt and pepper.
For a spicy aioli, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or Sriracha sauce.
Serve the aioli immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
