Herb-Crusted Roasted Salmon is a recipe for a very simple, very inviting, and even light main course!
Salmon is not a blue fish despite being rich in Omega 3 but a freshwater and marine fish typical of the North Atlantic seas.
Salmon is a fish found in steaks or fillets in almost all supermarket fish departments and it is a fish with a delicate flavor that pairs well with many flavor additions and foods.
What vegetables go well with salmon?
WE CAN accompany salmon with many vegetables such as:
1) a mixed salad with arugula and cherry tomatoes that fresh “cleanses” the palate from the fish’s dense flavor;
2) a classic mashed potatoes;
3) vegetables like roasted or grilled zucchinis, carrots, and potatoes;
4)honey and sesame carrots;
5)summer ratatouille;
6)savory stir-fried bell peppers;
7)parsley potatoes.…and much more!
What is the juiciest part of the salmon?
If you’ve purchased the fillet or slices of fresh salmon from the fish vendor, remember that the tastiest part is the one near the central bone, as the meat is uniform and very well compact.
How to choose fresh salmon?
1) The scales are intact and shiny;
2)The salmon has a good marine smell;
3)The eyes are clear and the pupils are dark;
4)The flesh has a delicate pink color, and is firm, compact, yet tender.

PREPARATION FOR HERB-CRUSTED ROASTED SALMON
For this simple recipe with FRESH SALMON, preheat the oven to 350°F on static mode.
Chop the washed and patted dry leaves of parsley and chives with a knife or a small blender.
In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated cheese and combine this mixture with the already chopped aromatic herbs.
Add extra virgin olive oil to this powder mixture and create an aromatic and fragrant pesto.
Wash the salmon steaks (I left the skin on) under running water and then dry them well by patting.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange separately the 2 fresh salmon steaks.
Place the pesto on top of each steak, trying to cover them entirely.
Add a pinch of salt and bake the tray for about 20/25 minutes, being careful to ensure the salmon cooks while remaining soft, tender, and juicy.
Once cooked, serve the fish accompanied, in this case, with parsley potatoes!
Enjoy your meal with the Herb-Crusted Roasted Salmon recipe!
