The fresh flavors of persillade, a mixture of garlic and parsley, complement juicy lamb chops spread with a bit of Dijon mustard and baked in a hot oven. A sprinkle of moist grey sea salt adds the finishing touch. Serve with broiled tomatoes and roasted potatoes, which are delicious with a dusting of finishing salt as well.
