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.

  • 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.
