Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup fresh dill
• 2 large, minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 3

Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh parsley, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 6

Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly over the herb crust on each salmon piece, gently pressing with your fingers to ensure it adheres.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 8

After baking, turn on the oven broiler on high for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs to a golden brown, if desired. Monitor carefully to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped herbs and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
