How to Make Fish Herb Crust

Combine all ingredients in a sealable zip-top bag. Ensure all herbs are evenly distributed.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pat your fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the crust adhere better.
Gently press half of the herb mixture onto each fish fillet, creating an even, thin crust.
Place the crusted fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately over a bed of your favorite rice, couscous, quinoa, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired.
