Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with vegetable oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the 5 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the 1/4 cup fish sauce.
Using a pastry brush, generously coat each salmon fillet with the butter and fish sauce mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup bread crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb and garlic powder mixture evenly over the coated salmon fillets.
Lightly drizzle the fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to help the breadcrumbs turn golden and crispy.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If desired, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get a more golden and crispy top.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Tips:
- Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the required temperature before starting. This ensures even cooking and a perfect texture.
- Pat the Salmon Dry: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel before seasoning. This helps the fish sauce and other ingredients adhere better.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for the freshest salmon you can find for the best flavor. Fresh garlic can replace garlic powder for an extra burst of flavor.
- Monitor Cook Time: Keep an eye on the salmon as it bakes, as oven temperatures can vary. Overcooked salmon can become dry.
- Broiling for Crispiness: For a crispier topping, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps the juices redistribute and enhances the overall flavor.
Buffalo baked salmon is a delightful fusion of flavors that is both simple and satisfying. By following these tips and steps, you can create a dish that is sure to become a favorite at your dinner table. Whether you're a seafood lover or trying salmon for the first time, this recipe is bound to impress and leave your taste buds wanting more.
