• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup spinach (cooked, chopped)

• pepper

directions

1. For Sauce: Place olive oil, spinach, basil, garlic, cheese, stock or water, and pepper in a food processor.

3. Heat puree in a medium-sized saucepan. Keep warm.
4. Moving on to the Salmon: Combine butter and lemon juice.
5. Brush salmon on both sides with lemon - butter mixture.

The taste was so-so, but this dish was visually sickening. Sorry :( The sauce is nuclear green and resembles basil that has been kept too long in the refrigerator and has turned to slime. I couldn't put it in my mouth after the first bite because I just couldn't get past the visual.
