Mediterranean Herb-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

This Mediterranean herb-crusted salmon is a celebration of fresh, simple ingredients that let the quality of the fish shine through. The herb crust adds flavor and texture while keeping the salmon moist and tender.

Begin by patting your salmon fillets dry and placing them on a lined baking sheet. Mix together fresh herbs—parsley, dill, and oregano—with breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and a touch of olive oil. Press this mixture gently onto the top of each salmon fillet.

Arrange seasonal vegetables around the salmon: cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onions, all tossed lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast everything together at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

The result is a restaurant-quality dish that comes together in under 30 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a crisp white wine. This recipe serves four and is perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests.
