Herb Crusted Salmon With Pasta Florentine on a plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Wow, this is a fantastic restaurant-quality salmon dinner you can make at home. It is a little time-consuming but once everything is prepped it comes together quickly. We really liked the herb combination on the salmon. The garlic is the complement to all the flavors. The pasta the salmon is served with is simple, no-frills but so good. Spinach and tomatoes cook to perfection in the hot pasta. There is a very slight creaminess to the pasta. Shaved Parmesan on top adds a touch of savoriness and flavor. The perfect meal for a special occasion, like Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve.
