Ingredients

Herb Salmon:

  • 1 large salmon filet 1-inch thick
  • 1 bottle Grey Poupon
  • 2 cups chopped herbs cilantro, basil, parsley, rosemary, green onion, any other herbs that you love... get a good mix. Remove all stems, use ONLY the leaves. Use a knife to finely chop and grind up all herbs. DO NOT use a food processor.
  • Roasted garlic see above, crushed
  • Hollandaise optional

Instructions

  • Slather salmon with Grey Poupon, use the whole bottle or about 1 cup. Top with herbs and roasted garlic. Cover so it looks like a nice, thick "herb blanket" herb crust.
  • Cook in oven at 325 degrees for 20 minutes (20 minutes per inch of thickness) in a glass baking dish or baking sheet (or something oven proof). Serve with garlic oil (from roasted garlic), lemon, and hollandaise. 
  • Great with rice, veggies, or crackers. (I served my Dad's over a bed of cooked spinach and garlic)

Notes

This flaky salmon is perfect for a busy weeknight because it comes together so quickly. Need something to go on the side? Try:
  • Rice pilaf
  • Baked potato with melted butter (yum..)
  • Broccoli
  • Roasted veggies crusted with parmesan and herbs (veggies include: zucchini, asparagus, potato wedges, brussels sprouts, any of your favorites)
