Aji Verde Peruvian Style Green Sauce

Ají Verde, the iconic Peruvian green sauce, gets its robust, luscious flavor from ají amarillo paste, lime, scallions, and plenty of cilantro.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 small limes)
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, trimmed, leaves and stems coarsely chopped (about 2 packed cups)
1 medium garlic clove, coarsely chopped
5 scallions, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon ají amarillo (peruvian yellow chile) paste, or 1 tablespoon seeded and coarsely chopped serrano or jalapeño chile
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Direction

Place all ingredients in a blender. Process on low, gradually increasing speed, until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and chill sauce at least 1 hour before serving. (This allows flavors to meld and mellow out.)

Quick Brined Salmon with Lemon Miso and Sofrito

Here, pastry chef Paola Velez mixes green sofrito with garlic, shiro miso, butter, and lemon for a deeply flavorful sheet-pan salmon dinner, a riff on this recipe from former Food & Wine Senior Test Kitchen Editor Kay Chun. Brining the salmon before cooking it seasons the fish and prevents it from drying out. Velez likes to serve this dish with chofán, a fried rice dish popularized by Chinese immigrants in the Dominican Republic. The salmon would also be fantastic served on top of your favorite fresh or leftover fried rice or rice pilaf.
