Mustard and Herb-Baked Salmon

10 fresh tarragon leaves
3 fresh chives
3 large fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 small (1/4-pound) boneless, skinless salmon filet
2 teaspoons spicy brown or Dijon mustard

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly mist a small nonstick baking sheet with olive oil spray.

In a food processor fitted with a chopping blade, combine the tarragon, chives, basil, and parsley. Process until finely choopped (or chop by hand). Place the salmon in the prepared pan. Brush or rub the mustard over the salmon. Sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then press it into the mustard. Lightly mist with olive oil spray.


Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque. Serve hot or chilled.


**I just do this with frozen salmon, just cook it longer. I'm sure it would taste better if it was fresh and could really sink in, but Ty loves it regardless.
 
Tasty, tried and true recipes.  And easy.  That's my main criteria with any recipe.  Hope you like it.
