Salmon with Basil Sauce and Tomato Salad

Step 1

Prep the tomato salad.

Step 2

Blend the basil sauce ingredients until mostly smooth.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix the spices in a small bowl and stir in the olive oil. Coat the salmon with the spice paste.

Step 4

Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 9-12 minutes, or until 135 degrees in the thickest part. (It’s all personal preference, but this is the doneness that we like best – it’s a medium-well done salmon.)

Step 5

Plate the salmon over the rice, serve with salad, and spoon the sauce over the top. Season with salt and pepp. Mwah!
