Description
This salmon is everything a great weeknight dinner should be—crunchy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, with layers of flavor in every bite. A buttery, herbed panko topping gives it a satisfying crisp, making this dish as impressive as it is easy.
Ingredients
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
4 tbsp butter, room temperature
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
⅓ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
(4) salmon fillets (4–6 oz each, about 1 inch thick)
Optional: extra melted butter for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a bowl, combine panko, butter, salt, pepper, parsley, minced garlic, Dijon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until crumbly and evenly combined.
Pat salmon fillets dry and place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Press the panko mixture firmly onto the top of each fillet.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Drizzle with melted butter if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Crispy, buttery, and full of flavor—this salmon is your new go-to for easy elegance.
