 Creating something beautiful and tidy for a crowd doesn't always mean spending hours prepping, cooking, and cleaning in the kitchen, especially when you whip up this lovely salmon recipe!

Oven-Roasted Parmesan Panko Crusted Salmon


serves 8
INGREDIENTS:

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

4 tablespoons butter, melted

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus a little extra for sprinkling on salmon

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 (3-4 pound) side of salmon, skin on

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

fresh lemon for serving

PREPARATION:

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, minced garlic, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside for now.

2)  Cover a large shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil. Place salmon in pan skin side up at first. Liberally salt and pepper the skin. Flip over. Brush the other side with the rest of melted butter, and again liberally season with salt and pepper.

3) Now cover salmon with your bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, chopped fresh dill, and extra parmesan. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until all but the very  center of fish has turned from translucent to opaque and your breads crumbs are nicely browned. Serve with lemon wedges!
