Savory Southern Herb-Crusted Salmon Delightful Dish

This dish brings the flavor of the South right to your table. The salmon has a crunchy herb crust that makes each bite special. You can prepare it in just 25 minutes.

What ingredients do you need for this dish?

- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

- 1 cup panko bread crumbs

- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- Zest of 1 lemon

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Lemon wedges for serving

How do you make the salmon?

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step makes for easy clean-up later.

In a bowl, mix the panko bread crumbs and the fresh herbs. Add the minced garlic, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything blends well.

Next, pat your salmon fillets dry. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet.

Now, brush each fillet with Dijon mustard. This gives the salmon a nice taste. Spoon the herb mixture over each fillet. Press down gently so it sticks.

Drizzle olive oil on top. This helps the crust get crispy.

Bake the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes. It is done when the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Add lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.

This dish looks great on a platter with fresh herbs and some colorful vegetables or salad. Enjoy your meal!
