It doesn't take much adornment to make a great piece of fish - really delicious.  This recipe for Herb Crusted Salmon came from my Cook's Illustrated magazine.  It's simple and it really highlights the flavor of the salmon beautifully.  This recipe would work well with any type of hearty fish - steelhead trout, halibut, mahi, etc.

I think this recipe for herb crusted trout could convert even the most diehard carnivore into a fish eater.  I served this fish to family and friends alongside a platter of rib eye steaks.  At the end of the meal, the fish was GONE and there were steaks leftover!  No kidding - people actually chose this fish over red meat!  That should be a good indication of just how delicious this fish really was.

​Ciao!
