Arugula Mayonnaise Recipes

OPEN-FACED TUNA SANDWICHES WITH ARUGULA AND SWEET-PICKLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the mayonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sweet pickles until smooth. For the sandwiches: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the tuna with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the herbs de Provence. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Place a slice of cheese on each piece of fish during the last minute of grilling. Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom half of the bread with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Cut into 4 pieces, each about 4-inches long and 3-inches wide. Grill, cut side down, for 30 seconds to 1 minute until toasted and golden.
• Spread the grilled bread with the sweet pickle mayonnaise. Place a tuna steak on top. Top with the arugula and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

ROASTED SALMON WITH MUSTARD-HERB CRUST, ARUGULA MAYONNAISE, AND PUMPERNICKEL TOAST

Steps:

• Make the mustard crust: In a bowl, combine the mustard, lemon juice, fresh herbs, salt and pepper, and stir together. Stir in the olive oil, and then the bread.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the salmon, skin side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Spoon the bread mixture onto the salmon and smooth with a spatula to cover completely. Put the baking sheet into the oven and roast until the salmon is just cooked through but still translucent in the center, about 10 minutes.
• When the salmon is cooked, take it out of the oven and set aside. Combine the mayonnaise, the chopped arugula, and the lemon juice in a blender and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, transfer the salmon to a serving platter by holding 2 opposing corners of the parchment paper and lifting the whole thing off the baking sheet and onto the platter, parchment and all. Spoon the mayonnaise into a serving bowl and garnish with remaining arugula. If serving with cocktail bread set the salmon out with the arugula mayonnaise, and the arugula leaves and let guests make open-faced sandwiches by spreading the toast with the mayonnaise, adding a leaf or 2 of arugula, and finishing with a spoonful of the salmon.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH WINE & CHEESE DRESSING

ARUGULA MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and large pinch of salt. Beginning a drop at a time, whisk in oils. As it emulsifies, add oil a little faster in a slow, steady stream. When mixture is thick, taste, and adjust seasoning. It should be highly seasoned.
• Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor, add arugula, and puree. (Add a tablespoon of water, if necessary, to get arugula flowing.) Taste, and adjust seasoning before serving.
