Hello and happy summer to you, me, and this amazing salmon with basil sauce! <\/p>\n

That bright green basil sauce is the green sauce of summer 2023 for me \u2013 pour it over spice-loaded, caramelized salmon and throw a little tomato salad on the side and you have a very happy dinner.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been eating this ON REPEAT in our house lately!<\/p>\n

How To Make This Salmon with Basil Sauce (with Pictures)<\/h2>\n

Step 1: Make the Basil Sauce<\/h3>\n

Just blitz, blend, do your thing. I use this mini chopper for nearly all my sauces these days!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Looks like this when you\u2019re done:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Step 2: Rub The Salmon with Spices<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a little bit satisfying, I\u2019m not going to lie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Step 3: Bake The Salmon<\/h3>\n

Ten minutes before it\u2019s time to eat, we pop this guy in the oven. I usually either use a meat thermometer, to check the temp (140 is a great benchmark) or I just sacrifice one end of one piece to check for doneness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Step 4: Assemble and Serve<\/h3>\n

Everybody builds their own plate! We layer in rice and a simple tomato salad. <\/p>\n

Only requirement: make sure everyone gets lots of basil sauce.<\/p>\n

Note From Lindsay<\/h2>\n

I have a real emotional attachment to this basil sauce (or some version of it) because it originated at a family cabin in Wisconsin. There was a huge basil plant on the dock, and we harvested it liberally, and for weeks we ate ev-er-y-thing smothered in basil sauce. <\/p>\n

Last week, when I breathed in my first bunch of fresh summer basil, it took me right back. Lightbulb. Craving. Basil sauce time.<\/p>\n

One of my all-time favorite things in life is when I find a recipe that makes everyone in my family happy. And this meal has something for all of us: lots of protein to make Bjork happy, lots of big flavor to make ME happy, and enough elements that no matter what the mood is in the kid department, they can find something they will like. <\/p>\n

Against all odds, my preschooler regularly asks for seconds and thirds on salmon whenever we make this, and my toddler literally cleans out the sauce blender with a spatula. And I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s going to happen for everyone. But I\u2019m saying it does sometimes happen for us, and I am always shocked, and I always play it cool, but it\u2019s making me super-extra love this recipe right now.<\/p>\n

In short: whole family endorsement here. <\/p>\n

May your summer be full of many batches of basil sauce! <\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> The photos on this recipe do not contain corn because I shot them before I discovered how great corn is in this recipe! You\u2019ll see corn in the recipe card, but not in the photos. Follow the recipe card!<\/em><\/p>\n

Secondly, yes, but you\u2019ll just want to adjust two things: 1) the spices on top, and 2) the timing. As written, the oven easily creates a crusted golden exterior with the spice rub on the salmon, but on a grill, if you flip the salmon face-down, the spice rub will stick and burn to the grates. I would just follow a grilled salmon guide <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/how-to-cook-salmon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like this<\/a> if that\u2019s what you want to do!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-more-of-my-favorite-salmon-recipes\">More Of My Favorite Salmon Recipes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/salmon-with-basil-sauce-and-tomato-salad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re making a summery salmon with a beautiful, big-flavored basil sauce that is so good, you\u2019re going to want to just drink it.
