Salmon with Basil Cream Sauce

A wonderful dish ...

Ingredients
Salmon:
4 salmon steaks (6 oz each)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Sauce:
20 fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 cloves garlic
1 cup heavy (double) cream
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp unsalted (raw grass-fed) butter
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Rinse salmon under cold water, drain, and blot dry. Brush salmon on both sides with olive oil. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
3. Combine basil, wine, and garlic in a blender and process until a smooth puree forms. Transfer to a small heavy saucepan. Stir in cream.
4. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, taking care not to let cream boil over. Stir frequently for 10–15 minutes, until sauce is reduced by half. Add butter and lemon juice, continuing to stir. Once the butter is incorporated into the cream mixture, remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
5. Grill salmon until it just starts to fully flake. Remove from heat. Spoon sauce over salmon and serve.

Salmon is one of our favourites, and this recipe just lends itself to being served on a bed of spinach. 

However, you may prefer to serve yours with something else ... the choice is yours.
