MARINATED GRILLED SALMON WITH TOMATO, BASIL, AND GOAT CHEESE
The is a recipe I've developed over the years. I use it on other fish than just Salmon, because not everyone in my family likes Salmon. Any fish will work, just make sure you have a nice sized steak. It is very flavorful and a little different than just another fish on the grill. It is definitely a MUST-TRY! Enjoy.

Steps:
- Mix first 10 ingredients in bowl.
- Pour marinade into large freezer bag.
- Marinate fish at least 20 minutes with bag sealed at room temperature.
- Thinly slice the tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place fish on hot grill. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Fresh ground is preferred).
- As the fish cooks (3-5 minutes per side), use a brush and mop the marinade onto fish.
- Turn salmon a quarter (90 degrees) after a quarter of the way through cooking. (This will give it nice grill cross hatch marks).
- Flip fish half way though cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste to this side as well.
- Continue to baste the fish with marinade. (Try to use all if possible).
- Turn fish another 90 degrees after 3/4 done cooking.
- Before fish is completely cooked, top it with thinly sliced tomato. Top tomato with fresh basil. Top basil with crumbled goat cheese. Shut the grill for a minute or two before taking fish off. Let rest a few minutes and enjoy!
- Feel free to make the marinade to taste. It should be sweet, and salty, and sour. I did not measure anything out when making this dish. I simply tasted it a few times until it was balanced the way I liked it.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Make sure the goat cheese sauce is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a little milk or cream. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to reduce it.
- Serve the salmon and goat cheese sauce immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
This lemon and basil salmon with goat cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the goat cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
