- 1 1⁄2 lbs small red potatoes, cut into wedges

- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3⁄4 cup mayonnaise

directions
- Lightly grease grill rack. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Fold a 36-by-18-inch piece of heavy-duty foil in half to make an 18-inch square. Lightly coat foil with cooking spray.
- Place potatoes and onion in center of foil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Bring up opposite sides of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose vegetables, leaving a space for steam to build.
- Place packet over medium heat. Grill 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Meanwhile, for lemon-garlic sauce, add mayonnaise, garlic, lemon peel and lemon juice to blender or food processor. Cover; blend or process until smooth. Cover and chill until serving time.
- Rinse salmon; pat dry. Cut fillets into eight (4-oz each) pieces.
- Brush salmon with remaining oil. Sprinkle with basil; season with salt and black pepper.
- After potatoes have grilled for 25 minutes, place fillets, skin-side-down, on grill. Top with lemon slices.
- Grill 8 to 12 minutes or until fish just flakes when tested with a fork. Do not turn fish during grilling.
- Serve salmon with potatoes and lemon-garlic sauce.
- *NOTE: Reserve 4 pieces of salmon for future use. Remove skin from salmon; break up salmon into large chunks. Place in a container. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 3 days.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
