Ingredients
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 ½ lb salmon
- ½ Juice of lemon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter - melted
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley - chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and melted butter, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet (skin-side down if applicable). Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the top.
- Press the panko mixture onto the salmon, gently pressing to ensure it adheres.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
- For a crispier, golden topping, broil for 30 seconds to 1 minute, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon.
