Ingredients
4 (4-ounce) salmon fillets
1 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise, such as Hellmann’s or Duke’s
A splash or 2 of your favorite hot sauce, such as Louisiana Crystal, sriracha or tabasco
2 cups finely crushed potato chips (a mix of plain and salt & vinegar is my favorite)
Snipped chives
Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400º F (200º C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil. In a small bowl mix together the mayonnaise and hot sauce.
Season the salmon fillets liberally with salt and pepper on both sides and place them on the prepared baking sheet without touching. Spread a thick coat of the mayonnaise mixture on each fillet. Press the crushed potato chips onto the tops of the salmon fillets.
Place the fish in the preheated oven and bake for 9 minutes, or until the topping is slightly browned and the fish is still a bit rare.
Serve immediately with lemon and chives.
