"My word, was this good. We made it on Monday and I am still thinking about it. I am trying to eat more salmon, and this recipe, along with the one posted before, are both terrific. I can't say enough good things about this salad, and with all the herbs growing in my garden to use for it...it was wonderful."

118.29 ml Italian breadcrumbs
9.85 ml fresh oregano, chopped
9.85 ml fresh rosemary, chopped
9.85 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
7.39 ml grated lemon rind
2.46 ml black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced

4.92 ml Dijon mustard
2.46 ml salt
2 garlic cloves
1 bunch green onion, chopped

directions

Combine first seven ingredients in shallow dish; spray fish with cooking oil, both sides, sprinkle with salt, and dredge through mixture.
Heat non-stick skillet to medium high heat, coat skillet with cooking spray. Add fish, cook three minutes one side. Reduce heat to medium, and carefully turn fish over; cook four minutes or until fish reaches desired level of doneness.
In small bowl, whisk together lemon juice (about half the lemon from which you got your rind), olive oil, mustard, salt, and garlic. Mix together salad greens and onions (obviously, you don't have to use the spinach/romaine mixture, that is just what we did b/c it was what we had) in a large bowl; add dressing, toss to coat.
Place salad on plate and top with salmon.

Really Loved this recipe. I made it a few weeks ago. The mix of herbs and breadcrumbs was a perfect match to the salmon. Salmon was moist following this cooking directions. I didn't have a lemon last time so I used a lime. Last time I didn't make the salad. Will be making this tonight and I'm making the salad too. We are Gluten Free so I found a recipe for italian breadcrumbs (#206196) and used GF bread. Turned out perfect. Thanks for a keeper in my arsenal of recipes.

I know that I will be enjoying this again during the hot summer months. The dressing has the perfect amount of tartness to compliment the cooked salmon. I was fortnate that my fresh herbs survived the winter as it really makes a difference in this dish. recipe #102062 was used for the Italian breadcrumbs. Made for *PAC Spring 2009*

Great flavor combination. We enjoyed the crispiness on the salmon coating, too. The salad was fresh tasting and the dressing nice and healthy. This made a complete, healthy meal. Thank you! Made for the Think Pink event in the Cooking Tag Games forum.
