Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 2 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the herb crust on each salmon piece, gently pressing with your fingers to ensure it adheres.
Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, about 12-15 minutes.
After baking, turn on the oven broiler on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs to a golden brown, if desired. Monitor carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped herbs and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
