Kim-

It was a reader recipe, sent in by Loreli I think. Either April or May issue.

I'll find the recipe and post it later on tonight.

NOTES : "We grow basil on our porch and are always looking for tasty new ways to use it. I created this dish on a whim to try and get my husband, Paul, to eat salmon. I succeeded: He loved it, and now he even requests it on occasion. The salmon tastes wonderful served with grilled or steamed vegetables."--Lori Fredrich, Germantown, WI
