Herb-Crusted Atlantic Salmon Fillet Recipe
Fish is healthy and nutritious! Although we love fish, we don’t have it as often as we should. The recommended weekly intake is two portions of fish with one being an oily fish.
We have been trying to eat more fish lately and thought we would share one of our family’s favourite fish recipe: herb-crusted salmon!
It is simple and easy to make, yet full of flavour! Did you know that frozen fish can in fact be fresher than the fish counter? As the freshly caught fish is frozen straight away, it keeps its quality, flavour and nutritional value.
Our recipe was made with Iceland Fish Market 4 Atlantic salmon fillets, approved by Good Housekeping. Iceland’s fish and seafood range is known for their great taste and affordable price, winning several awards: Seabass Fillet en Papillot was the winner of SuperMeat & Fish Awards, Boneless Atlantic Salmon Steaks, Stir Through King Prawns in Spicy Soy Sauce and Artic Royal Freshly Frozen Seabass Fillets were finalists of SuperMeat & Fish Awards. Both Artic Royal Red Snapper Fillets and Extra Large Roeless Scallops were finalists of Grocer Own Label Food & Drink Awards. Very impressive, don’t you think?

This oven baked salmon with herb crust is simply delicious. The fish is cooked straight from frozen, with little preparation. I simply made the breadcrumb mixture with chopped herbs and sliced the onions. The vine-ripened tomatoes and onions add a lovely taste to the dish, while the zesty bean quinoa complement it beautifully.
The quinoa with green beans, kidney beans, sweetcorn, red peppers, peas and soya beans in a lemon seasoning is very tasty and practical too. It is cooked from frozen and ready in minutes!
If you are also trying to eat more fish, you will be pleased to hear that Iceland has launched a new range of seafood dishes, created according to tasteful traditional Italian recipes using natural ingredients.
They can be cooked from frozen in only 9 minutes and added to pasta for a quick meal. We tried Sugo Alle Vongole, clams in a Mediterranean tomato and herb sauce. It was full of flavour and a success with the while family!
In this range, you will also find Frutti Di Mare, mussels, squid, clams and shrimp in tomato and herb sauce, Guazzetto Di Mare, seafood medley with mussels, clams and Pacific scampi and Zuppa Di Pesce, fish and seafood casserole with squid, hake, mussels, clams and shrimp.
