herb crusted salmon...

I meant to post this recipe last week after I made it, but weekends tend to get pretty crazy around here. And, no, I wasn't just lying around watching Gossip Girl all weekend... ok, that's exactly what I was doing most of the weekend. Don't judge.

Anyway, my reason for this post: Herb Crusted Salmon.
Super yum. I'm always a little afraid of making salmon. It's kind of touchy and can taste pretty awful if not cooked properly. This recipe is fool proof and SO GOOD. I served it with a quick side of sauteed broccoli and green beans (steam the green beans, saute broccoli florets in a pan with some olive oil, s&p and red pepper flakes while the green beans steam, then add the green beans to the broccoli and saute them for a bit).

Herb Crusted Salmon
Adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe

(measurements are approximate - I just kind of threw it together)
2 salmon filets
3/4 cup of whole wheat panko bread crumbs
1 TBS olive oil
3 tsp Herbs de Provence (I'm low on herbs, so used this. Pretty good, but parsley might be better)
2 TBS dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 450
Line baking sheet with aluminum foil
Combine panko, olive oil, herbs and a little s&p
Put salmon on baking sheet; season with s&p
Spread dijon evenly over tops of salmon filets
Put panko mixture on tops of salmon filets, pressing down lightly to adhere
Bake for about 11-14 minutes, or until salmon is opaque throughout

Easy as that!

I'm off to do a 60 minute yoga download session with Dave Farmar. I have a feeling my muscles will be shaky by the end of it! Bring it on, Farmar, bring it on.
