Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Toss panko with herbs and 1 tablespoon oil.
- Place salmon (skin down) on parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread evenly with mustard; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with reserved panko mixture, patting gently. Scatter lemons around salmon and drizzle them with oil.
- Roast salmon until it flakes easily, 18 to 20 minutes. With a large spatula, loosen it from skin (which should stick to parchment). Transfer fish to platter and garnish with roasted lemons.
SIMPLE LEMON-HERB ROASTED SALMON
This go-to recipe uses a fish's best friends: butter, herbs and lemon. Roasting at a high temperature lets you lightly brown the fillets on foil, without having to use a skillet, so there's minimal cleanup. Make this quick entree often, and use the time you save to try a new side dish to go with it.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and brush with oil.
- Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the outside is opaque and slightly firm to the touch and the inside flakes easily (insert a small paring knife between layers to check; the color will vary from bright pink (rare) to pale pink to orange (well-done)), 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
- Remove the fillets from the oven, top each with a piece of butter and let melt over the top and down the sides. Sprinkle with herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates with a spatula. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Blend the tarragon with bread crumbs, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor, pulsing in the dill last. Remove and stir in just enough melted butter to create the consistency of wet sand.
- Pat the salmon dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saute pan and sear the salmon, flesh side down, over medium- high heat, about 2 minutes. Do not crowd pan. Flip and top each fillet with the herb/crumb mixture. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the fish flakes with a fork. About 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter and serve immediately.
SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME
Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another layer of flavor without sacrificing this dish's elegant simplicity.

- Bake salmon until just opaque in center, 15-18 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER
As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, thyme, rosemary, garlic, pepper, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Arrange salmon filets skin-side-down in a baking pan.
- Gently spread butter mixture evenly over filets. If desired, garnish by arranging lemon slices (two per filet) atop filets and top each filet with sprig of rosemary. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Roast for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when fork-tested.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a center-cut fillet that is about 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the salmon cooks evenly.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your salmon a more flavorful crust. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Roast the lemons. Roasting the lemons will caramelize the sugars and bring out their flavor. This will add a delicious citrusy flavor to the salmon.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Herb-crusted salmon with roasted lemons is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights. With its crispy herb crust, flaky salmon, andRoasted tangy lemons, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
