In foil, fried or baked, there are a thousand ways to enjoy salmon! To change a little bit and because the season is up right for outdoor activities, I did it on the barbecue grill and I accompanied it with a creamy sauce with mint and basil. Simple and delicious!

Directions

1. Boil a pot of water and add the mint leaves and basil to infuse for 15 seconds. Remove and drain.
2. Remove excess water on the leaves with a dish towel. Put the mint leaves and basil with olive oil in a blender and mix well. Marinate for 15 minutes.
3. In a bowl, put the egg yolk, mustard, and necessary seasoning. Whisk until you get a smooth sauce.
4. Stir the mint and basil-flavored olive oil into this mixture gradually until the preparation gets thick and creamy, like mayonnaise. Beat well with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and cream. Place this sauce in the refrigerator.
5. Brush salmon fillets with oil. Cook on the barbecue at medium heat for 4 minutes on each side.
6. Serve warm with cream, basil, and mint.
