This is full of wonderful strong flavors. It really works your taste buds. We enjoyed it as posted with no changes except cutting the recipe in half. This is really quick and easy to prepare.I would not hesitate to serve this to company. Thanks for posting. :)

I loved this...made as per suggestion with leftover roasted salmon, but I didn't have any fresh basil, so the recipe wasn't completely authentic. Next time I may add a tad more zest because we love a lemon flavour, but it was certainly great as is.
