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: Place salmon in 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.
**Salmon Cook Time: this varies depending upon how thick your salmon fillets. For a thick piece of salmon and inch or more, cook time will be close to 22-25 minutes. For a thinner piece 1 inch or thinner, cook time will be closer to 15-17 minutes.
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.
