Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 2 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 3
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Step 6
Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the herb crust on each salmon piece, gently pressing with your fingers to ensure it adheres.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 8
After baking, turn on the oven broiler on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs to a golden brown, if desired. Monitor carefully to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped herbs and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
