Herb Crusted Salmon
You can never have too many main course recipes, so give Herb Crusted Salmon A mixture of bread crumbs, to 6 center-cut salmon fillets, dill, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert.
Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Blend the tarragon with bread crumbs, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor, pulsing in the dill last.
Remove and stir in just enough melted butter to create the consistency of wet sand.
Pat the salmon dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saute pan and sear the salmon, flesh side down, over medium- high heat, about 2 minutes. Do not crowd pan. Flip and top each fillet with the herb/crumb mixture.
Put the pan in the oven and bake until the fish flakes with a fork. About 8 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the fish to a platter and serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Valley of the Moon Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
Valley of the Moon Chardonnay
Aromas of ripe peach, baked pear, and sweet vanilla are accented by notes of cinnamon and clove. The ripe fruit and sweet oak flavorsaccompany a rich and creamy mouth feel with just enough bright acidity to focus the finish.Valley of the Moon Chardonnay is a delightful accompaniment to salads, seafood, fowl, lighter grilled meats, and cream-based pastas.
