Ingredients
- •Salmon(907g)
- •Bread Crumbs, Dry, Plain(160g)
- •Parmesan Cheese(160g)
Grated Parmesan — the shelf-stable canister is fine for cooking.
- •Parsley, Fresh(60g)
- •Garlic(240g)
- •Butter(80g)
- •1 pinch salt
- •1 pinch pepper
- •2 lemon wedges (to serve)
Instructions
- 1Position a rack in the middle of the oven. 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.
- 2Mix 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).
- 3Pour the mixture over the salmon, pressing it into the top until the fillet is completely covered. Lightly spray salmon with cooking oil spray for a golden crumb.
- 4Bake 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 fork.
- 5Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon (optional). Team with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.
