Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillet
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh oregano leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the tops dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped fresh oregano, lemon zest, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, pressing lightly to adhere the mixture to the fish.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the crumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
