Grilled salmon with basil cucumber cream

To me, salmon is becoming a lot like chicken. It is what it is, but really, there are an infinite number of ways to prepare it and keep things interesting.

So here's another twist on my favorite fish.

A bonus: This recipe includes my favorite herb, basil.

Grilled salmon with basil cucumber cream
Ingredients:
Marinade:
1/3 C. orange juice
1/3 C. soy sauce
1/3 C. water
1 lb. salmon, filleted
Sauce:
5 large basil leaves
1 C. loosely packed baby spinach, stems removed
1/3 C. sour cream
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 C. finely diced cucumber, seeded

Combine orange juice, soy sauce, and water and marinade for at least 30 minutes. Grill until cooked through, probably about 5 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, blend in a food processor the spinach and basil. Add sour cream and mustard, pulsing until just blended. Stir in cucumber. Add salt and pepper, if desired.
