LEMON BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Posted by Carole-Anne on February 7, 2008

This vinaigrette is great with Halibut (my favorite fish).  Also, it is good with salmon or swordfish.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp lemon grated zest

2 tbsp freshly sqeezed lemon juice

1/4 tsp sea salt

Freshly ground pepper

2 garlic cloves cut in halves

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

3 tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

1 tbsp drained capers

1/2 cup finely diced tomatoes

FOLLOW ME:

Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.  Spear the garlic on tines of a fork and use it to beat the lemon juice mixture.  Beat the oil in and then stir in capers, basil and tomatoes.

Voila – it is done; the simplest, basil lemon vinaigrette and it will taste oh so good on your halibut, salmon or swordfish.
