Instructions
- Make the basil vinaigrette and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium- high heat.
- Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper on both sides, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Transfer the salmon filets to the hot skillet, skin side down. Cook the filets for 4-5 minutes on each side, until just lightly pink in the center. Serve immediately over a bed of rice and top with the basil pesto vinaigrette.
Notes
- If you aren't interested in rice, try serving this fish over quinoa or a salad.
