Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
Gently pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place on the baking sheet, skin side down.
4
|
Sprinkle the tops of the salmon with the salt and black pepper.
5
|
Finely mince the fresh herbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
6
|
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted, 30-40 seconds.
7
|
Add the Parmesan, fresh breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the minced herbs. Mix with a fork to combine, then add the melted butter and mix to evenly moisten the crumbs.
8

Using a spoon and clean hands, divide the Parmesan and herb mixture equally between each salmon fillet. Gently pat into an even layer over the tops of the fillets.

Bake the salmon on middle rack of oven until the crust is golden brown and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes.

Check to see that salmon is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon if desired. Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Herb Moisture Magic 🌿Finely chop fresh herbs and mix them with breadcrumbs to prevent moisture loss and ensure maximum flavor absorption into the salmon crust.
- Crispy Crust Technique 🧀Pat salmon fillets completely dry before applying the Parmesan-herb coating to guarantee a golden, crispy exterior that doesn't become soggy.
- Butter Browning Trick 🧈Use clarified butter or heat unsalted butter until just before it browns to achieve a perfect golden crust without burning the delicate herbs.
- Temperature Precision 🌡️Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F, checking with an instant-read thermometer to ensure perfectly moist and flaky fish without overcooking.
- Lemon Zest Enhancement 🍋Grate fresh lemon zest into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture to add bright, citrusy notes that complement the richness of the salmon.
