Excellent. The sauce is to die for! I too baked my salmon, and as I had some fresh crab, I served this on top of the salmon and then covered the two in the sauce. With a rice pilaf, steamed asparagus and a glass of white wine, we really has a feast!

I loved this easy yet special cream sauce! It made salmon special with very little effort. I followed the recipe exactly except I baked the salmon. The sauce was just a little thick; next time I will tweak the lemon/flour ratio just a little. The sauce works better when I commit the two minutes whisking time to doing nothing but stirring - no making vegetables, helping with homework, answering the phone, nothing! If I give it my full attention the texture comes out creamy. My husband brought home 90 pounds of fish from an Alaska fishing trip last summer, so I will be making this often! Too bad the basil in the garden already froze :-(

Five stars, hands down! This sauce is one of the best things that I have found on this site. Rich and creamy and the lemon-basil flavour is just the perfect combination for fish. Makes quite a lot too so there's no need to double the sauce. Served it with plain boiled potatoes so as not to overwhelm the flavours. If I ever need to impress someone, I'm making this!

I've made this several times for not only my husband, but also for other family and friends. It's always such a huge hit. I bake the salmon in the oven, but other than that, I make the recipe just as it says. It's superb. We make extra sauce so that we can put it over angel hair pasta. Great!!

Picked up fresh basil from Farmer's Market and decided to make this sauce. I saved some grated lemon rind and made the sauce with fat free half & half. I was amazed at how thick the sauce was. Inspired by it's luscious creaminess, I cooked & added basil pasta that I picked up on my last trip to Italy. Served this as a side dish with chiffon basil and lemon zest on top, then grilled, sliced, and fanned a rib-eye steak. I give it 5 stars because the sauce was incredible with fat free half&half. Next, I'm going to poach & chill salmon, flake it on top a crostini and rather than basil, add dill to the sauce. Can't wait!!

I live in Alaska and I made this for FRESH ocean king steaks tonight for dinner. OMG!!! No restaurant could touch this meal for less than $30 a plate. Five stars just isn't enough for this one. To die for!!! I only had one lemon so I didn't have quite 1/4 cup of juice but was still very lemony. I also used fresh lemon basil from my greenhouse and a few more cloves of garlic. My husband thought he died and went to heaven.

This was a very good recipe! Instead, I used half and half and low fat milk to ease the calories. I think I added a little too much flour so I thinned it out with broth and a bit of water. After tasting, the lemon was a little strong, so I added pinches of sugar until it tasted better. I finally added the basil and it really made a difference! I will make this again.

Delicious and easy. My husband and I both loved it. I served it with whole wheat pasta which went great with the sauce. My 2 year old also loved the pasta with the cream sauce. Will definitely make this again.

This was REAL good. The only changes I made was I added a little more garlic to the sauce, and I also added a pinch of dried dill. I don't have a grill right now, so I coated the salmon with a little olive oil, and sprinkled some chili powder and a little garlic powder on both sides, and broiled it for about 4 minutes per side. Served it with rice and steamed brocolli. The sauce is perfect to put over brocolli. This was a quick and delicious weeknight meal.

Delicious is all I can say! I've made this twice already. The first time I did it on the Foreman grill and the second time I baked it in the oven. The only modification I made was that I used salmon fillets instead of salmon steaks. I made it with brown rice and poured the extra sauce all over the rice. It was a big hit at my house!

My husband and I loved it. We are both fisherman and are always looking for a simple and quick recipe to use with the catch. We will definitely be using this recipe again. I used the "George Foreman grill" and the salmon was perfect.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars!!! Awesome, scrumptious, easy. I baked this for 20 minutes but it's probably even better grilled. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it's perfect. Everybody (even my picky kids) agreed this is a keeper.

Gotta tell ya, this one rocked the house. I tend to avoid dishes that require cream, due to the high fat content, but the basil cream sauce was outstanding. Really. And, I followed the reviewers receommendations to make the red onion rice (which was so fast and easy) and it was a wonderful combo. You guys really know what you are doing. I will dine here again : )

Very good. I'm not a seafood lover so I doubled the sauce and served with grilled chicken breasts over angel hair pasta.
