Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1.5 lbs raw salmon

For the Crust

1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
1/4 tsp dill
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp salted butter melted
1/4 tsp salt for panko mixture, plus more for sprinkling
to taste black pepper for sprinkling
optional parsley chopped

Equipment

Baking dish
Foil
Small bowl

Method

Pre heat oven to 425℉.
Pat dry salmon and place it on a baking dish lined with foil. Lightly grease the foil. Sprinkle the top of the salmon with salt and black pepper. If you are using skin-on salmon, place the salmon skin side down.
Gather the sides of the foil and scrunch it up around the salmon to trap any liquid formed during baking.
In a bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, dill, and garlic powder. Mix these ingredients together. Add the melted butter and mix again to combine the crust mixture.
Cover the top of the salmon with the Panko mixture.
Bake the salmon for 12 minutes. Check if it is done. If you use a meat thermometer, the thickest part of the salmon should read 145℉. If the salmon is not done, bake it for a few more minutes. Do not overcook the salmon.
Garnish with parsley if you are using it. Serve the salmon.
