Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, mixing into a smooth herb paste.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet and spread the herb paste evenly over each fillet’s surface.
  4. Bake salmon for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  8. Divide salad among four plates and top each with a warm herb-crusted salmon fillet. Serve immediately.
