Garlic Knot Salmon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
02 -
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan.
03 -
1/2 teaspoon salt, preferably sea salt.
04 -
4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each.
05 -
1 lemon, sliced into wedges.
06 -
3 garlic cloves, minced.
07 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
08 -
1/4 cup panko crumbs.
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 425°F. Pour half the garlic butter mix into a baking dish, making sure there's enough space for your salmon fillets.
02 -
Stir the Parmesan and panko into the rest of the garlic butter until blended well.
03 -
Dry the salmon with a paper towel and season with salt. Lay them in the dish, skin-side down if there's skin.
04 -
Spread the panko topping over each piece of salmon, pressing it lightly so it sticks. Scoop up any crumbs that fall and pat them back on.
05 -
Pop the dish in the oven for 12-16 minutes. Cook until the salmon is done to your liking (135°F is medium) and the topping looks crispy.
06 -
Move the salmon onto plates, spoon on more garlic butter from the dish, and scatter parsley over the top. Add a lemon wedge to each plate and enjoy.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish delivers garlic bread-inspired flavor paired with tender baked salmon, ideal for a fast and tasty weeknight dinner.
02 -
For even cooking, pick salmon pieces of a similar size. If using frozen salmon, make sure it’s fully defrosted first.
