Salmon With Crispy Herb Topping Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC PARMESAN SALMON

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F | 200°C. Line a baking tray / sheet with a large piece of foil. Place the salmon fillet, skin side down, on the baking sheet; set aside.
• Mix together the 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). Using your hands (it's easier than using a wooden spoon), mix the ingredients together until the breadcrumbs absorb the butter (about 40 seconds).
• Pour the mixture over the salmon, pressing it into the top until the fillet is completely covered. Lightly spray salmon with cooking oil spray for a golden crumb.
• Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fillet), until the crust is golden and the salmon is cooked and flakes easily with fork.
• Serve with lemon wedges and a squeeze of lemon (optional). Team with a salad, steamed vegetables, rice or mashed potatoes.

SALMON WITH CRISPY HERB TOPPING

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, dull side up. Grease foil with 1/2 T butter, set aside.
• Place oven rack in middle position; preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium size bowl, combine panko, cheese, parsley, chives, salts and pepper.
• Melt 3 T butter in small bowl in microwave (about 20 seconds) or in small saucepan over medium heat.
• Pour over panko mixture; mix well with fork or spoon.
• Remove salmon from packaging (drain if necessary.) Place salmon on prepared baking sheet.
• Use a spoon, or your impeccably clean fingers (as Julia Child would say) to evenly cover filets with panko mixture, pressing to help adhere to fish.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets, then turn on broiler for 1 minute, to lightly brown. Shut off broiler and remove fish from oven immediately.
• Serve hot. Cover and refrigerate leftovers as soon as possible. Gently reheat in toaster oven or in microwave at 50% power.
