Recipe for Lemon Basil Vinaigrette

  • 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.
