Description

Ingredients

• 1 side wild salmon fillet (about 2 kg | 4 pounds)
• ⅔ cup plain breadcrumbs
• ⅔ cup grated parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup finely chopped parsley
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• Salt and pepper
• Lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

• Position 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.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter; season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ⅓ teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Using your hands (its 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 into the top until the fillet is completely covered.
• 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 fork.
• Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon (optional). Team with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.
