Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and toss until evenly coated. Set aside.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is still intact.
Brush the top of each fillet with Dijon mustard and drizzle with lemon juice.
Evenly spoon the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the fillets, pressing gently to adhere it to the fish.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or a crisp salad.
