**Grilled Salmon with Basil Aioli: A Delightful and Healthy Meal**
Grilled salmon is a classic dish that is both delicious and nutritious. This recipe takes it to the next level with a flavorful basil aioli sauce. The aioli is made with fresh basil, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic, and it pairs perfectly with the flaky, succulent salmon. This dish is simple to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes, making it a great option for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy choice, as salmon is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D. Serve the grilled salmon with roasted vegetables or a salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the aioli, chop the garlic and chipotle pepper together on a cutting board to make a coarse paste. Place the paste in a food processor, add the lime juice and roasted red peppers, and purée. Add the mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and process until smooth. Set aside.
- For the salmon, place a large (12-inch), dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on a board, pat dry with paper towels, and rub all over with olive oil. With the fillets rounded side up, sprinkle them with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the salmon in the skillet rounded side down and cook over medium-high heat for exactly 2 minutes without moving! Using a large metal spatula, turn the fillets rounded side up and place the skillet in the oven. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes, until the centers are rare. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare or 5 minutes for medium. Serve the salmon hot with the aioli and a wedge of lime for squeezing.
BASIL AIOLI
This recipe is absolutely delish and much easier than making homemade aioli with egg yolks and olive oil. We use it on chicken sandwiches, fish, with sweet potato fries and much more. Make sure to use fresh ingredients, it makes all the difference! Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, which is often treated with antibiotics and pesticides.
- Cook the salmon to perfection. Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can cook it on the grill, in the oven, or in a pan. Just be sure not to overcook it, or it will become dry and tough.
- Make sure the basil aioli is fresh. The basil aioli is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the salmon. Make sure to use fresh basil and mayonnaise, and season it to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Grilled salmon with basil aioli is best served immediately after it is cooked. The salmon will be flaky and juicy, and the basil aioli will add a delicious pop of flavor.
