Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons, dice the tomatoes, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the basil; pat the salmon dry and cut it into two portions.
- Toss the zucchini on a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper; spread it in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes.
- Stir the zucchini and move it toward the edges of the pan. Brush the salmon with the Dijon, season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and place it skin-side down in the center.
- Roast the salmon and zucchini for 10 to 13 minutes, until the salmon reaches 145°F in the thickest part and the zucchini is browned and tender.
- While the salmon roasts, combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, red wine vinegar, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season the relish to taste and let it stand for at least 5 minutes.
- Rest the salmon for 2 minutes, then plate it with the roasted zucchini and spoon the tomato-basil relish generously over the top.
