♥ oven baked salmon steaks with tomato basil relish

Tuesday lunch: Oven Baked Salmon steaks with Tomato Basil Relish! I absolutely loved this recipe but i think i added slightly more vinegar to the relish, which the boyfriend found to be alittle too sour for his liking. Nevertheless, a great meal!

4. Rub salmon liberally with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt.
