This week's French Fridays with Dorie challenge was Salmon with Basil Tapenade. I don't often cook salmon, not because I don't like it, but because it is soooo expensive.

And what a very nice hit it was too. I was glad that olive tapenade from a while ago was also useful for this dish. This salmon was simple to make and delicious to eat. I paired it with two other Dorie dishes allocated for this month - the ginger pickled cucumbers (first week of July) and the lemon barley pilaf (next week):
