Salmon with an herb crust dish is so easy to make but looks and tastes like you’ve slaved over it for hours! The herby breadcrumb coating gives the salmon a lovely flavor and texture, while the parmesan adds a delicious salty edge. Don’t even get me started on the combination of the lemon zest and dijon mustard – honestly, mindblown!

Is there much difference when using fresh salmon vs. frozen?

I have made this recipe with both fresh and frozen salmon, and I honestly can’t tell much of a difference! However, if you are using frozen salmon, you will need to cook it for a few minutes longer than if you were using fresh, as shown in the recipe.

Can I change up the herbs and spices used in this recipe?

Of course! I have used herbs that I feel best compliment the salmon, but you can absolutely change it up to suit your own taste. If you don’t like one of the herbs I’ve used, feel free to leave it out or replace it with something else.
