Ingredients

8 servings
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 5Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon (optional). Team with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.
