Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

15 salmon fillets (boneless, with or without skin on one side)
1½ cups freshly chopped cilantro leaves with stems, tightly packed
1½ cups freshly chopped parsley leaves with some thin stems, tightly packed
5 tablespoons Dijon mustard seeds
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard spread (optional for an enhanced mustard flavor)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or white wine)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 garlic cloves, crushed or finely grated
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon natural date syrup
2 flat teaspoons turmeric
Just barely a pinch of cinnamon (no more)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
White pepper, to taste (or 1/2 teaspoon)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Serving

2-3 Japanese lettuce leaves for each salmon fillet in a bowl

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a parchment-lined baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the pre-rinsed herbs, seasoning, and olive oil.
Spoon the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillets and spread evenly to coat.
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and separates in chunks with a fork. If it flakes, it might be overcooked, but many make it until it flakes anyway.

Notes

1 tablespoon = 10 mL = 1/3 fluid ounce

Don't worry if your salmon fillets are wider or thinner. We still bake them the same amount of time.
