Creamy Oven Baked Salmon with Herb Topping

Creamy Oven Baked Salmon with Herb Topping
This salmon dish transforms weeknights with elegant ease. Baked until perfectly flaky beneath a luscious herb-cream blanket, it fills your kitchen with irresistible aromas. Rich yet balanced, the golden crust earns appreciative silence at the table.
