Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, diced red onion, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.
To serve, plate the salmon fillets and generously spoon the tomato basil relish over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon with Tomato Basil Relish!
