- For the sauce, place the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, basil, dill, scallions, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until combined. Add the capers and pulse 2 or 3 times.
- To assemble the sandwiches, slice the rolls in 1/2 crosswise. Spread a tablespoon of sauce on each cut side. On the bottom 1/2, place some mesclun salad and then a piece of salmon. Place the top of the roll on the salmon and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes.
- Brush both sides of citrus slices with 1/2 tablespoon oil, then brush fish all over with 1 tablespoon oil and season with sea salt and pepper.
- Grill citrus slices, covered only if using a gas grill, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer citrus slices to a plate, then, if using a gas grill, reduce heat to moderate. Grill fish, skin sides down, covered only if using a gas grill, until skin is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.

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:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color.
- Marinate the salmon before grilling to infuse it with flavor. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices works well.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the salmon. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through but still slightly flaky. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
- Use fresh herbs in the basil aioli for the best flavor.
- Make the basil aioli ahead of time so that the flavors have a chance to meld.
- Serve the grilled salmon with the basil aioli on top or on the side.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon with basil aioli is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The salmon is grilled to perfection and the basil aioli adds a creamy, flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
