servings
Ingredients
- 4 center cut Salmon fillets 6 oz each
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Lemon wedges to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line the baking tray with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Pat dry the salmon with a kitchen towel and brush the salmon with melted butter on both sides. Set aside.
- In a medium shallow bowl, combine panko, parmesan, parsley, paprika, pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
- Dredge the salmon over the panko mixture and press both sides of the salmon for an even coating.
- Transfer the panko-coated salmon to the prepared baking tray. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
- Allow the baked salmon to rest for 5 minutes and serve them with lemon slices on the sides.
Notes
- Bring the fish to room temperature for about 15 minutes for even cooking. If you purchase frozen salmon filets, thaw them completely before beginning this recipe.
- You can remove the salmon skin but leaving it on helps keep it juicy.
- Dry the salmon well before brushing with melted butter.
- Use real, fresh parmesan rather than the dry grated kind in a can.
- Press the coating into the salmon, so it cooks evenly.
- Line the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Spritz the top of the parmesan coating with a bit of cooking oil for an extra crispy and golden parmesan salmon.
- Loosely cover with foil if the coating is browning too quickly.
