Description
We sometimes send our Washington salmon all the way to Michigan for my sister to use in this family-favorite dish! The tasty topping can be used on other types of fish as well. Fresh thyme from your garden really sparks the flavor.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
- 1 salmon fillet (3 to 4 pounds)
- lemon wedges, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper; mix well. Add 4 tablespoons butter and toss lightly to coat.
- Pat salmon dry. Place skin side down in a greased baking dish. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; cover with crumb mixture. Bake until salmon just begins to flake easily with a fork, 20-25 minutes. If desired, serve with lemon wedges and top with additional fresh thyme.
