Lemon-Herb Crumbed Salmon

Submitted by Snicklefritzie

"This is a recipe I adapted from TOH. This is a beautiful presentation and goes together in around 1/2 an hour. Definitely pretty enough for company. It has a delicate flavor. I have posted the original amounts below, I adapted it for our healthier life-style. We have a friend in Alaska who sends us fresh salmon."

This is a simple and tasty recipe. If you normally are wary about working with fish, this is a great recipe with which to get experience. The balance of the richness of the fish and the tang of the lemon makes a flavorful ensemble. Try serving this recipe with some orange peel rice, if you want to carry the citrus idea a bit further. Great recipe, Snicklefritzie!
