Vibrant Lemon Herb Salmon Recipe

Today’s Special: Lemon Herb Crusted Salmon

Hello, my lovely foodies! Today, I wanted to share with you a delicious and vibrant dish that is perfect for any season. This Lemon Herb Crusted Salmon is a light and refreshing recipe that will leave your taste buds singing with joy.

To start off this flavorful dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• salmon fillets (4, 150g each)
• lemon (1, zested and juiced)
• fresh parsley (2 tbsp, chopped)
• fresh dill (2 tbsp, chopped)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• breadcrumbs (50g)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• zester
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, chopped parsley, dill, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Next, spoon the herb mixture on top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets for an extra burst of flavor. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve the Lemon Herb Crusted Salmon hot, garnished with extra lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 175g and has an estimated calorie count of 250 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture for a subtle kick of heat. It complements the freshness of the lemon and herbs perfectly.

I hope you give this Lemon Herb Crusted Salmon a try and enjoy every bite. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite herbs or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
