Ingredients
  

  • 1 salmon fillet (12 ounces) skin on
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh chives finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and finely chopped thyme and chives. Pour the melted butter over the mixture, then season with the salt and pepper. Use your fingers to mix.

  • Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You're looking for the salmon to be just cooked through and the crust golden. If the crust needs a little extra color, switch the oven to broil for the last minute.
  • Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
