|
Prepare grill.
Combine the first 8 ingredients in the blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Set aside.

Serving
Suggestions: |
Spoon sauce over fish, and garnish with chopped basil and the lime wedges. |
Additional Comments: |
| Lightly charred, smoky-rich salmon is balanced by a lively sauce of fresh herbs, ginger, and chile peppers in this grilled dish. You might want to cut down on the amount of jalapeno pepper or substitute a milder chile (such as Anaheim) if you don't like hot foods. |
