Salmon night just got a serious upgrade. Tender fillets bake beneath a glossy sauce of garlic, lemon, Dijon, and fresh herbs that keeps the fish moist and layers on bright, buttery flavor. A quick pass under the broiler adds a lightly caramelized finish, and the whole thing is on the table in under twenty minutes. Elegant enough for company, easy enough for a Tuesday.
