Crispy Garlic Salmon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
02 -
1/4 cup panko crumbs.
03 -
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped.
04 -
4 slices of salmon, each about 6 ounces.
05 -
4 tablespoons melted butter.
06 -
1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher works best).
07 -
4 lemon wedges to serve.
08 -
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped up fine.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F. Mix together the butter and garlic, then pour half of it into the dish you'll bake in.
02 -
Combine the Parmesan, panko crumbs, and what's left of the garlic butter together.
03 -
Dry the salmon with a paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and place it flat in the dish, skin touching the bottom.
04 -
Spread the panko mixture on top of the fish, gently pressing it down so it sticks.
05 -
Bake for about 12–16 minutes, until the internal temp hits 135°F and the top looks golden and crispy.
06 -
Drizzle the remaining butter over the salmon, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a thermometer to check if the salmon is ready.
02 -
Cooking time depends on how thick each piece is.
03 -
If the topping slides off, put it back on top!
