Earl Cooks Mediterranean Herb Crusted Salmon

I don't think I eat enough fish. That stated, we eat A LOT more than we did 5 years ago. We like fish, but when our family was younger. the smell of the fish was rather off-putting for all. Gradually, I learned ways to cook fish,and types of fish that would not cause problems, but my daughters had flown the coop by then.

My local fish monger (a chain grocery store) had their salmon at a really good price and they even had one that sounded easy because it was already crusted with Mediterranean Herbs. I bought two and thought they would go well with peeled new potatoes which I halved and covered with garlic roasted seasoning sauce I bought in a packet made by a company called Red Fork. I was able to cook both the potaoes and the fish in the same pan in a 375℉ oven in a mere 25, minutes and except for rotating it in the oven halfway through, it went unattended! I  thought it was very good and the sauce on the potatoes complimented the crust on the fish nicely, although I think i could have made a sauce just as nice from ingredients I already have on hand.
Results:
Crusted Salmon ⭐⭐⭐⭐✰ (I will be buying it again)
Potato Roasting Sauce ⭐⭐½ (I won't be buying it again, but may make something like it)

Addendum:
My wife a.k.a. "Turkey" took her leftovers to work for lunch the next day and reported that while the fish was fine, the herb crust was not. Eat it all hot and fresh from the oven.
