Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 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 olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season the fillets with salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and Dijon mustard. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the salmon fillets, pressing lightly with your fingers to help the crumbs adhere and form an even layer on top.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crumb topping should be golden and crispy.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the crumb-covered salmon with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty touch. Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
