Roasted Salmon with Tomato Basil Relish

Roasted Salmon with Tomato Basil Relish | Destination Delish – a quick and easy recipe for roasted salmon topped with a vibrant, tangy, and fresh Italian-inspired relish

How often do you use your oven?  I am baking, roasting, or heating something up in the oven every single day, multiple times! Is that normal? Don’t answer that. Almost every night, I eat roasted vegetables piled high in a bowl with chicken or egg and a dollop of sauce –hummus, salsa, gochujang (Korean red pepper sauce), basalmic vinaigrette.

Another reason to fire up that oven…this Roasted Salmon with Tomato Basil Relish. I’ve brought salmon back into my life…because it’s Lent. Although, my no-meat-on-Fridays observance leaves much to be desired. I do enjoy the extra exposure seafood gets this time of year and the all the sales at the grocery store! But even after Lent, I’m definitely going to make salmon more of a weekly dinner staple. I love that it’s filled with healthy fats, making it nutritious and filling. Plus, there are so many ways to cook and flavor it!

Last year, I explored Tex Mex-type flavors with this Cilantro Lime Salmon and these Southwest Salmon Burgers. So today, we’re changing it up and bringing in some Italian influence. Preparing Italian-inspired salmon filets may sound like a sophisticated and involved process, but it’s actually quite the opposite.

There are 2 main steps to the recipe. The first step: drizzle olive oil over the salmon filets and season with salt and pepper. Then, roast those filets until they’re crisp on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. The second step: while the salmon’s roasting, chop up the veggies for the relish, squeeze in the lemon juice and stir. Once the salmon’s done, spoon the fresh relish over the top of each filet. How’s that for a quick and easy dinner!?
