How to Make Herb Crusted Salmon With Mixed Greens Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Lightly spray both sides of two 6-ounce salmon fillets with cooking oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and dredge through the herb mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray.
  5. Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet. Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  6. While the salmon cooks, prepare the salad dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups mixed salad greens and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  8. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  9. Place the mixed greens salad on a plate and top with the cooked salmon fillets. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired.
