Tips:

  • 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.
