Effortless Garlic Knot Salmon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
02 -
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
03 -
4 pieces of salmon, each weighing about 6 ounces.
04 -
1/4 cup panko crumbs.
05 -
1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
06 -
3 cloves of garlic, minced finely.
07 -
1 lemon, sliced into wedges.
08 -
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley leaves.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F to preheat. Combine garlic and melted butter in a bowl. Pour half in a baking pan big enough for all the salmon pieces to fit in one layer.
02 -
Mix the Parmesan cheese and panko into the leftover garlic butter until it’s evenly combined.
03 -
Dry the salmon with paper towels, then sprinkle with sea salt. Lay the fillets in the butter-coated pan, skin-side down if it’s still on.
04 -
Spread the cheesy breadcrumb mix over the salmon and press it down gently so it sticks. Scoop up any loose crumbs and press them back on.
05 -
Place in the oven for 12 to 16 minutes. Check if the salmon’s done by looking for a golden crust and an internal temp of about 135°F for medium.
06 -
Move the salmon to serving plates. Scoop up the leftover garlic butter in the pan and drizzle it on top. Sprinkle parsley and serve each with a lemon wedge.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish delivers roasted salmon with a crunchy garlic-butter topping, great for weeknight dinners.
02 -
Make sure your salmon fillets are evenly sized so they cook at the same pace. If starting with frozen fillets, let them thaw fully first.
