Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat each salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, dill, thyme, and lemon zest.
- Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus freshness.
Helpful Tips
- Make it Gluten-Free: Swap panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Extra Crispiness: Toast the breadcrumbs in a skillet with a bit of olive oil before applying them to the salmon.
- Herb Substitutions: Feel free to use other fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or chives if you prefer.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Suggested Pairings
This Herb-Crusted Salmon pairs wonderfully with a light arugula salad and roasted vegetables. For drinks, consider serving a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing sparkling water with a splash of lemon.
