Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Herb-Crusted Salmon with Green Beans

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, chives, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Squeeze lemon juice over each fillet and season with salt and pepper.
4. Spread the herb breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
5. In a separate bowl, toss the green beans and cherry tomatoes with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Arrange them around the salmon on the baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your salmon is at room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
• Feel free to adjust the types of herbs used based on your preference or availability.
• For an extra crispy topping, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the salmon with other fish like trout or cod for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of white wine or vegetable broth to the baking sheet for added moisture and flavor.
• Incorporate other seasonal vegetables such as zucchini or asparagus for variety.

What to Serve With It

• A light mixed greens salad with a simple vinaigrette.
• Quinoa or couscous for a hearty side.
• Garlic bread to soak up any delicious juices.
• A glass of chilled white wine to complement the flavors.
