Ingredients:

60g
1/2 cup chives
20g
1 tbsp dill
16g
1 onion
110g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet or dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil.
2. Prepare the Salsa Verde:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh parsley, chives, dill, chopped onion, red hot chili peppers, and minced garlic.
- Add the mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil to the blender.
- Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth consistency. If needed, season the salsa verde with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the salmon with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Using a brush or spoon, coat each fillet with a generous amount of the prepared salsa verde. Make sure to cover all sides for maximum flavor.
4. Bake the Salmon:
- Place the baking sheet with the salmon in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. Serve:
- Once the salmon is baked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the baked salmon hot, optionally garnished with additional fresh parsley or lemon wedges.
- Pair with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Choose fresh and high-quality salmon fillets to ensure the best taste and texture.

- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal baking.

- Ensure that the salsa verde ingredients are finely chopped for a smoother sauce.

- Let the salsa verde sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Serve the baked salmon immediately after cooking to retain its moisture and flavor.
