Ingredients
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter softened (sub plant-based butter)
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 salmon fillets 4-6oz each and 1 inch thick
Serving Suggestion:
- drizzle of melted butter
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 415℉.
- Panko Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, ⅓ cup fresh parsley, 4 tablespoons butter (softened), 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon onion powder. Use a fork to break apart butter and combine.
- Prep Salmon: Place 4 salmon fillets in a deep baking dish. Add a generous layer of the panko mixture on top of each piece of salmon.
- Bake: Move salmon to the preheated oven, middle rack and uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until an internal thermometer reaches 140℉ at the thickest part (**See Notes on cook time).
- Rest + Serve: Remove salmon from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with additional melted butter drizzled over top (optional) along with some easy roasted broccolini and wild rice.
Notes
- Salmon: for best results, use fresh salmon - frozen works too, it just tends to be a bit more watery so results my vary (make sure it is fully thawed and pat dry before cooking).
- Salmon Cook Time: this varies depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. For a thick piece of salmon, cook time will be closer to 22-25 minutes. For a thinner piece, cook time will be closer to 15-17 minutes. Keep an eye on it and use the internal temperature to know when they are done.
- Dairy-Free: use a plant-based butter.
- Gluten-Free: simply use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
