Ingredients
- 1 large skinless salmon fillet
- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- pinch freshly-cracked black pepper
- Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon on a prepared baking sheet and pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and parsley. In another bowl, melt butter, add garlic and stir. Add melted butter and garlic to the breadcrumb mixture with a pinch of pepper. Stir well for about 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture over the salmon, pressing it into the top until the filet is completely covered. Lightly spray salmon with cooking oil spray for a golden crumb.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fillet), until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon.
