Parmesan Crusted Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 of whole skin on salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup of plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme and chives finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter melted
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and finely chopped thyme and chives. Pour the melted butter over the mixture, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Use your fingers to mix.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan herb mixture over the salmon fillet evenly, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You're looking for the salmon to be just cooked through and the crust golden. If the crust needs a little extra color, switch the oven to broil for the last minute.
- Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
