Ingredients
- 1.5-2 pound whole wild salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon thyme and chives finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs together. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix with your hand to coat the breadcrumbs in butter.
- Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the salmon fillet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon, is cooked through and the crust is golden. If the crust doesn’t brown, turn on the broiler for 1 minute, then remove. Serve warm.

Notes
- Storing Leftovers - Baked crusted salmon is best enjoyed crisp from the oven. But leftovers will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.
- Reheating - It's tricky to reheat salmon without overcooking it. I therefore recommend broiling it for just 2-3 minutes to get the crust browned again and the meat slightly warmed.
