Basil Mayo (on a Salmon Burger)

It’s fresh. It’s healthy (as healthy as mayo gets). It’s delicious. It’s a must make.

A couple weeks ago, I wanted to make the salmon burgers that i’ve had in the freezer. However, salmon burgers are kind of dry when you have one by itself. Back in the day I would have had some Tzatziki sauce, but that has lactose. So I did what any person would do when needing advice, I consulted google. Google’s first option said “Dill Mayo” and with that…I got creative, tweaked it, and came up with Basil Mayo.

BEWARE: You have to be super smart and have a lot of time to complete this little recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup mayo (use your kind, i’ll use mine!)
• 8 basil leaves (fresh out of the garden is best), cut chiffonade
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Pinch of cayenne pepper

Process:

Put your mayo, lemon juice, and chiffonade basil leaves in a container. Mine was going straight to the fridge when I made it so I put it in a plastic container.

Sprinkle your lemon pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper on top.

Mix and enjoy. You can really taste the basil in this recipe and it is so fresh, especially out of the garden. The lemon brings out the basil and the fish for an experience your taste buds will thank you for!

Serve your mayo atop your salmon burger with a side of snap peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts, you pick.

The perfect lunch. And the best part? You can use this mayo on anything…not just a salmon burger!

Now see what I mean??? That took a lot of brainpower and a lot of time!
