Lemon Herb Crusted Salmon
This baked salmon is not just for health nuts; it’s for anyone who enjoys a delightful meal without spending an eternity in the kitchen. Let's start with a visual treat that’s sure to whet your appetite!
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lemons (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While you're at it, get your favorite playlist going—music makes cooking more fun!
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until it resembles a delicious crumbly mixture that just begs to be spread onto something.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (the good kind that doesn’t stick). Place the salmon fillets on the sheet and gently press the herb mixture onto each fillet. Make it look fancy, even if you're eating in your pajamas.
- Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The aroma will be so good, your neighbors may just show up for dinner!
- Once done, plate it up and drizzle a little extra lemon juice on top for that zesty kick. Don't forget to take a photo for the gram before you dig in—because that salmon deserves its moment of fame!
And there you have it, a scrumptious lemon herb crusted salmon that’s as delightful to eat as it is to prepare! Get ready to impress your taste buds and the folks at your dining table. Enjoy!
