Description

This recipe for baked salmons with parmesan breadcrumbs is simple and easy. And it gets ready in less than 20 minutes using easy-to-find pantry staples in your kitchen. Serve over mashed potatoes, salad, or sides, and bread for a complete meal.

Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs (1 kg) Salmon

Parmesan breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup (100 g) Breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup (100 g) Parmesan grated
  • 1 tbsp Garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup Parsley chopped
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C / Gas Mark 6
  • In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients - breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and melted butter.
  • Pat dry the salmon fillet and make a few cuts on the skin. Place salmon skin-side down on a baking sheet or sheet pan lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  • Top the salmon with the breadcrumbs, making sure to spread them around evenly.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. The fish is done when the salmon flakes with a fork, and the flesh becomes tender, paler, and opaque.
    - 125°F to 130°F (52°C to 54°C) for medium-rare (soft and slightly translucent in the center).
    -135°F to 140°F (57°C to 60°C) for medium (firm but still moist).
    - 145°F (63°C) for well-done, as recommended by the USDA.
    - For the best texture, many chefs prefer removing salmon from the oven at 130°F (54°C) and letting it rest for a few minutes, as the residual heat will continue to cook it slightly.
  • When you remove it from the oven, let it cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes before serving. I like to flip the lemon slices over, putting the chared sides down.
  • Serve with a drizzle of lemon juice and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley and more lemon wedges.
