Garlic Knot Salmon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
6 ounces each, 4 salmon fillets.
02 -
Melted butter, 4 tablespoons unsalted.
03 -
Garlic cloves, minced finely (3).
04 -
Panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup.
05 -
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup.
06 -
Sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon.
07 -
Chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons.
08 -
Lemon wedges (1 lemon).
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 425°F. Mix together the minced garlic with the melted butter in a small bowl. Pour half of it into a casserole dish that's big enough to hold the salmon comfortably.
02 -
Combine the Parmesan and panko crumbs with the garlic butter you didn't pour out. Stir it well until it's evenly mixed.
03 -
Dry the fillets with a paper towel. Sprinkle the salt evenly over them. Lay them out flat in the buttered dish, skin-side down if there is skin.
04 -
Scoop the crumb mixture on top of the salmon and gently press so it stays on. Any crumbs that fall can be picked up and reused.
05 -
Put the dish into the oven and bake for 12-16 minutes. The crumb topping should turn golden, and the salmon should reach medium doneness, about 135°F.
06 -
Move the cooked salmon to serving plates. Drizzle the leftover garlic butter from the dish over the top, scatter the parsley on, and add lemon wedges on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
This crispy garlic salmon is ready in no time and full of flavor. It's like your favorite garlic bread in fish form!
02 -
Make sure all your salmon pieces are similar in size so they cook at the same rate. Frozen salmon needs to be fully thawed before you start.
