Basil Salmon
Salmon and dill have been a culinary pair for so long that it’s time to introduce the fish to another herb just as complementary — basil. This slow one-sided cooking method is the easiest and most consistent when grilling fish.
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets with skin (1 lb/500 g)
2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil
2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard
2 cIoves garlic minced
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh basil
Preparation:
Arrange salmon fillets, skin side down, in single layer in shallow glass dish. Set dish aside.
In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and garlic; stir in basil. Spread over salmon. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Place salmon, skin side down, on greased grill over low heat; cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily when tested with fork.
