Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (7 oz) skinless salmon fillets
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup finely shredded parmesan
- 2 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, finely shredded Parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the olive oil and mix until evenly combined.
- In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth.
- Dip each salmon fillet into the beaten egg, allowing excess egg to drip off.
- Press the salmon into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, coating the exposed surfaces evenly.
- Arrange the coated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Bake until the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy and the salmon is cooked through. Check the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer; fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven, allow the salmon to rest briefly, and serve warm.
Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before coating to help the egg and breadcrumb mixture adhere.
- Use finely shredded Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs for an even, crunchy topping.
- Serve shortly after baking for the best crispy texture.
