Salmon Garlic Twist (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 pieces of salmon, each about 6 oz.
02 -
3 garlic cloves, minced finely.
03 -
1/4 cup of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
04 -
1 lemon, sliced into wedges for serving.
05 -
2 tablespoons of parsley, chopped up.
06 -
1/4 cup of panko crumbs.
07 -
4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
08 -
1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt.
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 425°F. Take a bowl and stir butter (melted) with minced garlic. Pour half the mix into a baking dish that can fit the salmon pieces snugly.
02 -
Mix together panko crumbs and Parmesan with the rest of the garlic butter until it's all blended evenly.
03 -
Dry the salmon using paper towels and sprinkle it with salt. Place it in the dish with the butter, making sure skin-side is down if your fillets have the skin.
04 -
Spread the panko mix over the salmon fillets, pressing gently so it sticks. Gather any crumbs that fall off and pat them back onto the pieces.
05 -
Bake for 12 to 16 minutes. When the salmon hits around 135°F (medium) and the topping is golden and crisp, you're good to go.
06 -
Move the salmon onto plates, pour any garlic butter left in the dish over the top, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve lemon wedges alongside.

To cook evenly, make sure all your salmon fillets are about the same size. If you're using frozen ones, be sure they're completely thawed before starting.
