minutesIngredients
2 pounds side wild salmon fillet
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/3 cup melted butter
Salt and pepper
Lemon wedges, to serve
Directions
- Place a rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Place salmon onto baking sheet, skin side down and set aside.
- Add breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Pour in melted butter; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/3 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Mix until breadcrumbs absorb butter, about 40 seconds; using your hands or a wooden spoon.
- Pour mixture over salmon, pressing it into top until completely covered. Lightly spray with cooking oil spray for a golden crumb.
- Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes (may be longer, depending on thickness of salmon fillets), until crust is golden and salmon is cooked through.
- Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon, if desired. Pair with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.
- Enjoy!
