Herb Crusted Salmon
Herb crusted Salmon is a simple yet elegant dish that brings together the boldness of smoked paprika with the brightness of fresh herbs. A mix of tarragon, parsley, and chives is massaged into the salmon for about an hour before cooking.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste or minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons tarragon finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chives finely chopped
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Make the rub by combining smoked paprika, olive oil, tarragon, parsley and chives
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper and then apply the rub on the salmon. (NOTE 1)
- Heat a grill or oven to 400°F.
- Transfer the salmon onto the grill (skin side down) or onto a baking sheet and cook until the internal temperature has reached 125-140°F. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Take the fish off the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Notes
- If the rub is difficult to spread, add a little bit of olive oil.
