Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If strawberries are not in season, you can use frozen or thawed strawberries, but the flavor will be slightly less intense.
If you don't have basil, you can use another fresh herb, such as mint, cilantro, or parsley.
To prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the salmon. You can also use a non-stick pan.
Don't overcook the salmon. It should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
Serve the salmon immediately with the strawberry basil relish.
