Description
A straightforward recipe for baking salmon fillets stuffed with herbs and breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir in the olive oil until the mixture is just moistened.
- Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Carefully cut a pocket into the thickest part of each salmon fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly into the pockets of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh dill for parsley if you prefer a different flavor profile.
- For extra moisture, you can place a thin slice of lemon on top of each fillet before baking.
