Homegrown Herb Crusted Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat and prepare

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Make herb crust

   In a bowl, combine chopped herbs, minced garlic, panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Apply mustard coating

   Brush the top of each salmon fillet with Dijon mustard. This helps the herb crust adhere to the fish.

4. 4

   Add herb crust

   Press the herb mixture firmly onto the top of each salmon fillet, creating an even layer. Place on prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake to perfection

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
