Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
How to Make Herb-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Veggies
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes and zucchini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet beside the veggies. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon, then generously coat each fillet with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F) and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the salmon is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- Customize the herb mixture to your taste—basil or thyme work beautifully too.
- For an extra crunch, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Easy Variations
- Swap the salmon for chicken breasts or tofu for a different protein.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus for more variety.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy topping.
What to Serve With It
- A side of quinoa or couscous for a hearty grain option.
- A light green salad with a lemon vinaigrette to complement the dish.
- Garlic bread to soak up the delicious juices.
- A chilled glass of white wine to elevate your dinner experience.
