I came up with this recipe while trying to find a new way to cook salmon. Typically I would wrap salmon in foil and back or sear in a hot pan. Now that I’ve come up with this, my family will be eating it more often! Note that I use frozen salmon in this recipe. Feel free to subsitute with fresh if you wish. We can’t get real fresh salmon in these parts so frozen is the next best thing.
Parmesan Crusted Salmon
Ingredients:
4- 4oz salmon fillets, thawed
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (like Kraft)
1 tsp kosher salt (more or less depending on what you like)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
2 eggs
2 TBSP melted butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Dry thawed salmon with paper towels. In a shallow bowl beat eggs. In another shallow bowl combine all dry ingredients. Dip salmon in eggs first, then into the dry mixture. Make sure the fish is coated really well. The thicker the crust the better! Drizzle with butter.
Bake for 30 minutes or until fish is nice and flaky!
