Grilled Salmon With Basil Oil
"This dish is prepared in a grill pan on the stovetop. It is adapted from my local newspaper. Simple and easy to prepare. If using fillets you can leave the skin on and cook the skin side first. Serve skin side down."

I am not rating the recipe because I opted to grill it outside instead of on a grill pan, which resulted in a bit of dryness and loss of flavor. Next time I would seal each piece in foil before placing it on the grill to seal in the moisture...or try the stove top grill pan! -
Into my 10 STAR book with this one. Delicious and so easy! I just got a cast iron grill pan and this was perfect for it. Going to have this one often. Made for Spring 2012 PAC game.

<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>

<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
