Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain dried breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5 ounces each)
  • cup white wine

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic, parsley, oregano, the zest of 1 lemon salt, pepper, and olive oil together in a medium bowl.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a greased baking dish and season them with pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon the breadcrumb topping evenly on top of the salmon.
  • Pour the wine around the salmon into the baking dish (do not pour the wine on top of the breadcrumbs). Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the oven 10-12 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. Then, broil 1-2 minutes until breadcrumbs are golden brown (keep a close eye to make sure they don't burn).
  • Remove from oven and squeeze a generous amount of lemon juice on top before serving. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Spoon any sauce from the pan onto the salmon.

Notes

  • I like to use plain, unseasoned dried breadcrumbs and season them myself. If you use Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, keep in mind that they are already seasoned with salt and herbs like parsley, oregano, and garlic so don't add any additional salt. You can add a little fresh garlic, parsley, and lemon zest to taste.
  • Pour the wine into the baking dish around the salmon, not on top of the breadcrumbs. Pouring the wine on top of the breadcrumbs will make them soggy and prevent them from crisping up.
  • As the dish bakes, the breadcrumbs will mix with the wine in the pan and create a delicious sauce that you can spoon over the salmon.
  • Don't forget to squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the dish right before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
