Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush salmon filets with 3 teaspoons olive oil.
Place lemon slices in the bottom of a medium-sized pan. Place salmon filets on top of the lemon slices; sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Bake salmon for 20 to 30 minutes, uncovered.
While salmon is baking, prepare relish by combining olives, capers, remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, basil and pinch of salt in a bowl and stirring to combine.
Plate the salmon and top with some of the relish.
Notes
Variation: Use apple or orange slices to rest salmon on, or any combination of the three.
You may substitute 1 teaspoon dried basil for every 2 tablespoons fresh basil used.
