Brittany McKinley, Iowa Farm Bureau Wellness Specialist ll
Ingredients: 
1 oz. (25g) fresh basil leaves
1 oz. (25g) of mint leaves
7 oz. (200ml) olive oil, plus more for rub
3 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. mustard
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 tbsp. cream
Finely grated zest and juice of one lemon
4 salmon fillets
Optional to serve with:
Cooked broccoli

Whole grain rice

Instructions: Boil 2 cups of water, and add the mint leaves and basil to infuse for 15 seconds. Drain the leaves, and remove excess water on the leaves with a dish towel. Put the mint and basil leaves with 7 oz. olive oil in a blender, and mix well. In a bowl combine the mayonnaise, mustard and salt and pepper; whisk until you get a smooth sauce. Stir the mint and basil-flavored olive oil into this mixture gradually until it gets thick and creamy. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice and cream. Place the sauce in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Brush salmon fillets with oil. Heat pan to medium high, cook each side 3 to 4 minutes. Make sure you don’t overcook. They cook fast! Serve fish warm with chilled cream sauce on top. Serve with whole grain rice and cooked broccoli for a fantastic, healthy meal! Eating fish 2-3 times a week is so good for your heart health and your mental health! Serves 4.
