Ingredients:

• 2 salmon filets (about 6 ounces each)

2. Season the salmon filets with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. While the salmon is roasting, combine the basil, parsley, red onion, lemon juice, garlic, capers, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve the roasted salmon topped with the vibrant lemon-basil salsa verde.
