Tips for Smoked Salmon with a Dill Aioli

The aioli should look smooth and creamy; whisk until no streaks of mayonnaise remain.
Keep the pan uncrowded so the salmon warms evenly; it should remain moist rather than turn dry or stiff.
For a neat presentation, serve on a chilled plate and add the aioli just before eating.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp acidity and bubbles complement the creamy aioli and cut through the salmon's smoky richness.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate the salmon and aioli separately in covered containers within 2 hours, and use within 3–4 days. Reheat the salmon until steaming hot; serve the aioli cold.
