Grilled Salmon With Basil Aioli image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large egg yolks (preferably organic)

The salmon was a bit dry, but the basil aioli helped to make it more moist.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the basil aioli was delicious. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.

This grilled salmon with basil aioli was an absolute delight! The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and flaky, tender flesh. The basil aioli was the perfect complement, adding a burst of fresh, herbaceous flavor to each bite.
