Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 portions salmon - 8-12 ounces (see Notes below)
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 small shallots, minced - or 1 large shallot
- 1 tablespoon ají amarillo paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry sherry - see Ingredients in Post for substitutions
- ⅓ cup tamarillo pulp
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch - see Ingredients in Post
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Brush the surface of a cast iron pan with oil. Sear the salmon flesh side down over medium-high heat. Turn. Cook to desired doneness. This may take anywhere from 5 minutes for thin fillets to 10 minutes for thick ones. Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the shallot to the skillet. Sauté until the shallot begins to soften. Add the ají amarillo and garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the dry sherry to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Scrape the browned salmon bits into the sherry mixture. Reduce heat.
- Add the tamarillo pulp and the cornstarch to a small bowl. Whisk to combine until smooth and incorporated. Whisk the slurry into the skillet until thoroughly combined. Bring to a low boil. Assess the thickness. Add broth or water as needed. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Return the salmon to the pan, spooning sauce over the top. Gently reheat if needed.
- To serve, plate a salmon portion, top with the tamarillo pan sauce, garnish with fresh herbs, lime, and/or fresh tamarillo slice.
