History - Basil is a member of the mint family, and was known as the herb of kings in ancient times. In fact, its name may have been derived from the Greek word basileus, meaning "king"....
Super-tasty sauce but overwhelmed the mild flavor of the monkfish, which is a bit expensive where I live ($13/pound)--sauce is dominating flavor, fish could have been any firm protein. Will make again, but will sub the monkfish for shrimp or salmon--maybe even tofu.
