Needed to use up some slightly overcooked salmon. The oiliness of the onion-olive mixture was perfect for the purpose. Like everyone else, I felt it needed some brightness, which lemon juice supplied.
Good recipe. Added the zest of a lemon, which brightened it up.
Definitely felt there could be more going on here, but a base dish to embellish. I added summer squash which I cooked down with the onion until jammy. Regretted not having a lemon for more brightness & sauce and capers to heighten the salty olive vibe.
