Ingredients
Method
- Position an oven rack in the middle. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet; set aside.
- Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/3 teaspoon pepper, or to taste. Mix the ingredients by hand until the breadcrumbs absorb the butter, about 40 seconds.
- Pour the mixture over the salmon, pressing it onto the top until the fillet is completely covered. Lightly spray the salmon with cooking oil spray to achieve a golden crumb.
- Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve with lemon wedges and an optional squeeze of lemon. Pair with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes
Tip: Use fresh shredded parmesan in the crumb topping instead of the fine powdery parmesan found in plastic containers. It gives it a better flavour.
