InstructionsTake only the light-colored portion of the lemongrass. Peel off the fibrous outer layers. Cut the soft portion into small pieces.Grind together the lemongrass, ginger, garlic, basil leaves and salt. Use a mortar and pestle, a blender or a food processor — it’s up to you.After grinding, the mixture should be a coarse paste. It can be a fine paste, if you like. Just process longer. Stir in the olive oil.Spread the mixture on both sides of the salmon. Grill at 425oF for about 10 minutes.Serve with a salad, whatever your favorite is, and — this I highly recommend — sweet mangoes.
