Place all basil leaves except two in the food processor and process until fine. Or finely chop them manually. Combine with the olive oil.

Place mango, cucumber and tomato in a bowl and stir in lemon juice. Add half of the basil oil, season with salt and pepper.

Press a basil leaf on top of each salmon fillet. Heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the fillets top side first for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the fish and cook the other side.

Place each fillet on a bed of green salad. Top with the mango salad and drizzle with the remaining basil oil. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.
