How To Make Mediterranean Herb Crusted Salmon
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped parsley, dill, thyme, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper together to form a paste-like mixture.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the herb paste evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, coating each one with half the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the Herb-Crusted Salmon hot, with lemon wedges if you want them.
