Herb-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Lemons

This healthy fish dish is your anytime ally: It looks and tastes great, and it couldn’t be faster or easier to prepare. You can serve it for a weeknight dinner or a weekend get-together in almost less time then it takes to set the table. A whole-salmon fillet has the same festive quality as roast beef or leg of lamb, and its a dish all your guests, including non-meat-eaters, will ooh and aah over.

  • • ¼ cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

  • • ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • • 1 tablespoon chopped dill, tarragon, or chives (optional)

  • • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • • 1 3-pound salmon fillet, skin on, small bones removed

  • • ¼ cup Dijon mustard

  • • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • • 2-3 lemons, quartered, seeds removed

  • • Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

  • • Toss panko with herbs and 1 tablespoon oil.

  • • Place salmon (skin down) on parchment-lined baking sheet.

  • • Spread evenly with mustard; season with salt and pepper.

  • • Sprinkle with reserved panko mixture, patting gently.

  • • Scatter lemons around salmon and drizzle them with oil.

  • • Roast salmon until it flakes easily, 18 to 20 minutes.

  • • With a large spatula, loosen it from skin (which should stick to parchment).

  • • Transfer fish to platter and garnish with roasted lemons.
