Roasted Salmon with Herbs Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on April 27, 2022 in Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

Hey there,

Does anyone else out there love eating Salmon once in a while?  Yes? No?  Ok, well for those who do here is an easy healthy and super quick Baked Salmon with Herbs Recipe.  I used different types of herbs for this recipe, one of the herbs that I add when preparing this dish is Tarragon or otherwise knows as Estragon.  Now, I could never pinpoint the taste of this specific herb but when I googled it a few years ago I read that the taste is similar to licorice!!  How interesting!!  As the years went by I could taste the similarity.  If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to try this herb in any of your recipes please do I am sure you will be amazed.

When I decided to stop eating meat I needed to find another source of protein.  I’m not really a big fish eater but I do enjoy Salmon, Shrimps, Calamari once in a while.  Salmon was the next obvious protein choice for me as was Tuna.  I like a good Tunafish sandwich with apples at least once a week. (granny smith) 🙂  If you didn’t know this bit of information Tuna is also high in Protein.

So, if you’re on the lookout for a great Salmon recipe or just thinking of a different source of protein try out Salmon.  Don’t forget to try out this Baked Salmon and Herb Recipe you will love it!!!

Have a great day!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    This sounds really delicious! I love tarragon with fish. I discovered tarragon thanks to my French mother-in-law and have been in love with the herb since💚

    So very true! Tarragon really has a similar taste to licorice ☺️ I have never thought about it until now ☺️ I love salmon but I prefer to not cook it at home as I have a very little and opened kitchen and I avoid strong smells ☺️ But sounds very delicious 😋
