Oven Baked Salmon Recipe with Parmesan Herb Crust

Oven Baked Salmon Recipe with Parmesan Herb Crust

Ingredients:

• 1 whole wild salmon fillet (1.5 - 2 pounds)
• 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, finely chopped (I used thyme and chives)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs together. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix with your hand to coat the breadcrumbs in butter.
3. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the salmon fillet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden. If the crust doesn't brown, turn on the broiler for 1 minute, then remove. Serve warm.
