Garlic Parmesan Salmon (Edit)

From Cafe Delites

Yield

2+ servings depending on fillet size

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds side wild salmon fillet

  • 2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs

  • 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

  • 4 cloves garlic , minced

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • Salt and pepper

  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon fillet, skin side down, on the baking sheet; set aside.

  • Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/3 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Using your hands (it’s easier than using a wooden spoon), mix the ingredients together until the breadcrumbs absorb the butter (about 40 seconds).

  • Pour the mixture over the salmon, pressing it into the top until the fillet is completely covered. Lightly spray salmon with cooking oil spray for a golden crumb.

  • Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fillet), until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked and flakes easily with fork.

  • Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon (optional). Team with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.
