GRILLED SALMON WITH BASIL AIOLI
DH and I enjoyed this easy to prepare salmon dish from July 2008 Bon Appetit. We cheated and used anchovy paste instead of opening up a new tin of anchovies. It worked fine. We served the fish with grilled summer squash and zucchini, which was very complimentary.

Tips:
- Before grilling the salmon, make sure to pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help the salmon cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, place it on a well-oiled grill grates. You can also use a cedar plank to cook the salmon, which will impart a smoky flavor.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the salmon is grilling, prepare the basil aioli. Simply blend together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, basil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the salmon is cooked through, serve it immediately with the basil aioli and your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or salad.
