Kalamata Olive Relish

From Cook's Illustrated, here are their notes: This relish accentuates the mild flavor of the sea inherent in salmon. The brininess of the olives and capers amplifies the salty, ocean-like taste; the garlic and lemon contribute a pungent acidity that cuts through the salmon’s richness; and the freshness of basil lightens and lifts the whole dish.

Ingredients

1 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped fine
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and minced, plus 1 teaspoon brine
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in bowl and season with salt and pepper.
