Baked Salmon Topped With Roasted Garlic And Savory Mayo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillet
1 cup mayonnaise
5 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Place salmon filet on a sheet of aluminium foil, or baking tray, flesh-side up.
Season salmon filet with salt and pepper (to taste) and set aside.
Chop garlic finely and mix into the cup of mayonnaise, stirring if necessary.
Using a butter knife or a spoon, spread the garlic-mayo mixture evenly on top of the filet, the spread should be about a 1/2cm thick throughout.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, and place the filet on the top rack, for 8-10 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
Turn the oven setting to \"Broil\" and keep a close eye on the garlic mayo spread; turn off the oven once the garlic and mayo start to brown evenly.
Season further with salt to taste.
Serve with potatoes, or steamed rice.
