1 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
8 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (or chervil)
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 shallot, roughly chopped
1/2 lemon, juice of
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus
more olive oil, to taste

fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup mayonnaise
lettuce leaf (or baby spinach)
sliced radish

Steps:

  • Prepare the salmon:.
  • In a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the 1 cup oil and basil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add salmon and turn to coat evenly with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350*F. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 1 minute per side, then transfer to a large oven-safe dish. Bake about 10 minutes (if you want the center translucent, cook a minute or two less).
  • If serving chilled, let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Make the mayonnaise:.
  • In a food processor, blend the herbs, shallots, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper for 1 minute. Add the mayonnaise and blend well. Taste and adjust seasoning. If sauce is too thick, add a little more oil. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • To serve:.
  • Arrange the lettuce or spinach and the radishes on a large platter. Place the salmon on the greens, drizzle with the herb mayonnaise, and garnish with fresh minced chives. Serve with more sauce on the side. Enjoy!
