Parmesan Crusted Salmon

homemade parmesan crusted salmon on parchment paper flaked with a fork and served with lemon wedges
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried or fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 (1-pound) salmon fillet
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the panko, garlic powder, parsley, salt, pepper, and ¼ cup of the parmesan. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and mix until fully combined using a fork or your hands.

  3. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the prepared sheet. Pat dry with a paper towel. Brush the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter and sprinkle with the parmesan mixture, gently pressing to adhere to the salmon. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan.

  4. Bake until the panko is golden brown and the salmon easily flakes with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes.

  5. Divide the salmon among 4 plates. Serve with the lemon wedges on the side.
