Broiled Salmon with Olive Tapenade

We love salmon and it’s even better with the perfect tapenade.  Dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes!  Perfect for a weeknight entree.

Ingredients:

4 salmon filets, roughly 4 oz each

Olive oil

Kosher salt

1 can pitted green olives, drained and roughly chopped

1/2 jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and roughly chopped

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Preheat oven to broil for salmon.

Place salmon on a baking sheet, covered with foil or sprayed with nonstick spray.  Drizzle olive oil lightly over each filet (about 1-2 tsp on each).
