Prep/cook time: 28 minutes Serves 4 / The piquant relish adds a delicious zing to this dish. Ingredient tip: Try to use salmon fillets of an even 1-inch thickness, which won’t dry out as quickly.

1 1/2 pounds wild salmon fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

3/4 teaspoon chili powder, divided

1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced into quarters

1 cup medium diced avocado

1 tablespoon minced shallots

2 tablespoons cilantro

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 500°. Cut fish into four pieces, leaving skin on; rinse and pat dry. Place fish skin side down on a metal baking sheet. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.

2. Reduce oven temperature to 275°. Place salmon in oven on lowest rack and roast 6–14 minutes, so that centers of thickest parts are translucent when cut into with a knife.

3. In a medium bowl, stir together remaining salt, chili powder, and olive oil with tomatoes, avocado, shallots, cilantro, and lemon juice. Remove salmon from oven, transfer to plates, and serve with relish.
