Baked Salmon Recipe

Preheat oven to 450°F.

After washing fish fillets, pat them dry gently with paper towel. Determine how large each serving size will be and cut up the fillets into individual servings. This makes it easier to serve guests and allows the fish to cook more quickly than a single, large serving would allow.

Mix flour, salt, basil and chervil together and place in a container so that fillets can be dipped in easily to coat.

Place milk in a flat pan and dip each serving of fish in milk. Then, dip fish fillets into flour and herb mixture. Take remaining milk and add egg. Collect up remaining flour and herb mixture and combine it with bread crumbs.

Take prepared fish fillets and dip them into egg and milk mixture. Then, dip them into mixture made from flour and bread crumb mixture and place them into a greased, rimmed baking dish. Drizzle the fillets with a little melted butter.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Test to see if it is finished. Cooked fish should flake with a fork.

Once fish is finished cooking, use fresh parsley leaves to garnish and serve immediately along with lemon wedges.

This recipe makes 4 servings.
