Zesty Herbed Lamb Chops image

I often serve this sauce with seared scallops or grilled salmon or halibut. It's really good either way. I also modify the recipe when there are fresh herbs in season. I've made a version with basil instead of mint, and I sometimes swap thyme for oregano for a more subtle flavor. -Cora Anderson, Seattle, Washington

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try this recipe again with less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lamb chops didn't turn out as tender as I had hoped. I think I might have overcooked them. I'll try this recipe again with a lower cooking temperature.

These lamb chops were a bit dry for my taste, but the herb crust was delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a different cut of lamb.

I'm not usually a fan of lamb chops, but these were exceptional. The herbs and lemon zest added a brightness that balanced out the richness of the meat.
