Grilled Salmon Served with Potatoes with Basil Lemon Cream Sauce

This is a very simple but satisfying dish.

Ingredients

 1 or 2 small salmon fillets
Dry oregano
Black pepper
1 lemon
3 small potatoes or one large potato of your choice

For the Cream Sauce
2 tbsp of salted butter or margarine
8 fluid ounces of heavy whipping cream
juice of 1 lemon
1 chicken bouillon cube

4-6 fresh basil leaves finely chopped
1 chopped garlic clove

Marinate the salmon in lemon juice for about 15 to 20 minutes, sprinkle a bit of oregano and black pepper. Grill the salmon for 8 to 10 minutes in medium heat, do not overcook and do not let it dry out.

In a small skillet melt the buter and saute the garlic and incorporate the bouillon cube. Add the lemon juice and stir, slowly incorporate the cream as you stir, lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Once the potatoes are cooked (boiled) serve and pour some of the cream sauce on them. Place the salmon on a bed of lettuce, garnish with a lemon slice, and enjoy with a good dlas of wine.
