Crispy Salmon with Herb Salad
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Rest salmon fillets atop fresh herbs tossed with a light lemon dressing. Because they're left whole, use small basil and mint leaves; if you have only large leaves, tear them in half. Refrigerate the herb mixture before preparing the salmon so it won't wilt.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 2
Combine juice, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and garlic, stirring with a whisk.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Sprinkle salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 9 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Combine arugula mixture and juice mixture; toss well to coat. Place 1/2 cup herb salad on each of 6 plates; top each serving with 1 fillet. Serve with lemon wedges.

Willametta's Review
I made this exactly as written (I halved the amounts but the proportions were equal) and it was delicious. My husband declared it "restaurant quality" and I would agree. The combination of arugula, basil, cilantro and mint in a light, lemony dressing was the PERFECT complement to the salmon. I'm looking forward to making it again for company.

This was fabulous! Hubby and I are doing a low carb diet at the moment, and were so happy to add this recipe to our diet. I used Italian seasoned panko, and did not make the herb salad. I made my own garden salad instead. Am making the salmon tonight.

My husband and I absolutely love this recipe. The combination of flavors are delightful and we have made this a regular at our house. It's great for a light summer dinner or lunch.

This is a wonderful combination of flavors! My husband and I have made this a regular in our house. We make it exactly as written. Because there is so much going on (in a good way) with the flavors, this would be a delicious dish for company (but simple to make -- the most time-consuming part is preparing the greens).
