Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the salmon with salt to enhance the flavor.
In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, finely chopped onion, grated lemon peel, and dried thyme to the melted butter. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Spread the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets. Press down gently to ensure the mixture adheres well to the salmon.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven. Let it rest briefly before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
For added flavor and presentation, garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure your salmon is of high quality and fresh for the best results.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for a more robust flavor and better texture.
- Be gentle when applying the crust mixture to avoid breaking the salmon fillets.
- Keep an eye on the salmon while it's cooking to avoid overcooking, which can make the fish dry.
- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, consider adding more lemon peel or a dash of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Lemon and Parmesan-Crusted Salmon with Thyme is a versatile and tasty meal that showcases the best of simple, yet elegant cooking. The combination of vibrant lemon, savory parmesan, and herbs creates a delightful crust that perfectly complements the rich and buttery texture of the salmon. Serve it with your favorite sides, and enjoy a meal that's both healthy and exquisite. Bon appétit!
