This recipe uses multi-grain bread, fresh parsley, and chives to create a flavorful topping that adds a delicious crunch to the tender fish.

Ingredients:

2 slices multi-grain bread
70g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
1/3 cup chives
13g
2 lb salmon
910g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Herb Crust:
- Tear the multi-grain bread into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor.
- Add the fresh parsley and chives to the food processor.
- Pulse the mixture until you get fine breadcrumbs combined with the herbs. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Salmon:
- Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
4. Season the Salmon:
- Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper, or any other desired spices.
5. Apply the Herb Crust:
- Evenly distribute the prepared herb and breadcrumb mixture over the top of the salmon.
- Press lightly to ensure the mixture adheres to the fish.
6. Cook the Salmon:
- Place the tray in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the herb crust is golden brown. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon.
7. Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
- Carefully transfer the salmon to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, a simple salad, or some roasted potatoes.

Tips:

- Use fresh herbs: Fresh parsley and chives provide a more vibrant and aromatic flavor compared to dried herbs. Make sure to chop them finely for even coverage.

- Make the bread crumbs finely ground: To achieve a uniform crust, use a food processor to finely grind the multi-grain bread slices. This will also help the herbs stick better to the salmon.

- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork but still retains some moisture, usually about 12-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

- Use a short spray of cooking oil: A light spray of cooking oil will help the herb and bread crumb mixture adhere to the salmon better, ensuring a crispy crust.

- Check for pin bones: Before cooking, make sure to check your salmon for any pin bones and remove them with tweezers for a better eating experience.

Herb-crusted salmon is not just a feast for the eyes but also a treat for the taste buds. The combination of fresh herbs and crunchy multi-grain bread elevates the natural flavors of the salmon. It's a healthier option that doesn't compromise on flavor, making it a great choice for any meal. Enjoy this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience.
