Tender salmon with a crispy garlic and Parmesan crust baked to golden perfection.
# Ingredients:
→ Fish
01 -
4 skin-on salmon fillets, approximately 170 grams each, thawed
→ Butter Mixture
02 -
57 grams unsalted butter, melted
03 -
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
→ Topping
04 -
60 grams panko breadcrumbs
05 -
30 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese
→ Finishing
06 -
15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
07 -
Kosher salt, to taste
08 -
Lemon wedges, for serving
# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven to 220°C and arrange a large baking dish to accommodate the salmon fillets comfortably.
02 -
Combine melted butter with grated garlic and divide the mixture evenly into two separate bowls.
03 -
In one bowl of garlic butter, blend panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan until the mixture has a wet sand consistency.
04 -
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, season both sides with kosher salt, then brush each fillet with plain garlic butter from the first bowl.
05 -
Press the breadcrumb and cheese mixture generously onto the top of each salmon fillet to ensure adhesion during baking.
06 -
Place the prepared fillets into the baking dish and roast for 12 to 16 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 57°C and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
07 -
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the baked fillets and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure salmon fillets are evenly sized for uniform cooking. Use a meat thermometer to achieve ideal medium doneness at 57°C internal temperature.
02 -
Patting salmon dry enhances breadcrumb adhesion and promotes a crisp topping.
03 -
If topping falls off, simply reapply and press gently before returning to the oven.
