Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine fresh dill, parsley, lemon zest, panko breadcrumbs, and 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Press herb mixture evenly over both sides of salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. While baking, prepare sauce by mixing lemon juice, sour cream, dill, and chives in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from oven, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with lemon-dill sauce spooned over the top and steamed asparagus.
