• Salmon fillet: rich and flaky, it serves as the perfect base for the crispy topping
• Parmesan cheese: adds a salty, nutty layer of flavor that browns beautifully in the oven
• Breadcrumbs: create a golden, crunchy crust that holds all the flavor together
• Garlic: infuses the topping with deep, savory notes that complement the salmon perfectly

• Freshly grated parmesan cheese is always best. It melts better than pre-shredded cheese (found in the green container) and it gives the crust a richer flavor.
• Press the parmesan crumb mixture firmly onto the salmon so it bakes into a crisp, golden crust.
• Bake at a higher heat so the outside gets golden while the inside stays tender and juice.
• Squeeze lemon on top right before serving. The lemon brightens the flavor and balances the richness.
• If using skinless salmon, the crumb topping will still hold firmly. Just be careful when transferring it, as these fillets can be more delicate.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds side wild caught salmon fillet

• 2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs

• 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/3 cup butter, melted

• 1 pinch salt

• 1 pinch pepper

• 2 lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400*F (200*C). Line a baking tray/sheet with a large piece of foil. Place the salmon fillet, skin side down, on the baking sheet; set aside.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/3 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Using your hands (it’s easier than using a wooden spoon), mix the ingredients together until the breadcrumbs absorb the butter (about 40 seconds).
• Pour the mixture over the salmon, pressing it onto the top until the fillet is completely covered. Lightly spray salmon with cooking oil spray for a golden crumb.
• Bake uncovered for 12-15 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 (optional). Team with a tossed salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

• Use fresh shredded Parmesan in the crumb topping instead of the fine powdery Parmesan found in plastic containers. It gives it a better flavor.
