Fresh Herb Baked Salmon
Hi Everyone!
My favorite fish to make is salmon.
This is one area where I can brag that I make a mean salmon dinner.
Everyone in my family loves salmon so I have had plenty of practice making it.
The key to this Fresh Herb Baked Salmon recipe is the marinade – it’s all in the marinade!
Some other examples of my salmon recipes on LLS are Baked Dijon Lemon Caper Salmon Dinner and Salmon Tacos with Fresh Salsa and Avocado Sauce.
If you need some ideas for vegetable side dishes to serve with this salmon recipe, I suggest Roasted Green Beans and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.
This Fresh Herb Baked Salmon recipe is inspired by my herb garden (see my garden posts here).
Some other examples of garden-inspired recipes are Mint Lemonade, Baked Rosemary Veggie Skewers on SoFabFood, and Lemon Rosemary Skillet Chicken Thighs.
