Baked Salmon with Herbs and DelMonte Tartare dip

You probably would have been using mayonnaise as spread and dips, how about using it as a flavor enhancing agent? Mayonnaise is so versatile and delicious that it is becoming the “must have” condiment in all households. It’s an all purpose condiment. It can take any flavors, any combinations and still be one of the most delicious finger licking condiment that you will love.

DelMonte’s new range of mayonnaise is something that I have been super excited about. It’s like a new revolution in the world of dips and sauces. The moment I got these wonder jars I decided I will use it differently to make food more exciting to eat.

DelMonte Tartare Dip is an exquisite mix of eggless mayo, gherkin bits that give it a delicious crunchy bite.

A beautiful Norwegian fillet seasoned with salt and pepper, sprinkle fresh herbs then generously spread with tartare dip atleast ¼ inch thick and then baked in an oven until is salmon is cooked through.

This baked salmon is way too easy to make, and the well seasoned fillet with a tangy crust with little tiny pieces of onions, gherkins gives a nicely soft salmon with loads of flavor in it.

Most times, you get a dry meat or sea food when you bake it, but adding mayonnaise over the meat while baking results in super moist baked meat/seafood and the perks of using a mayonnaise dip over the meat? Loads of flavors enhanced in the meat ofcourse!
