Easy Crusted Salmon Food

BAKED PARMESAN CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray an oven safe wire cooling rack with non-stick cooking spray and set over a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet.
• In a shallow dish toss together panko, parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper (I use about 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper). Drizzle in olive oil and toss well to evenly coat mixture.
• In a separate shallow dish beat the egg until yolk and white are well blended.
• Working with one piece of salmon at a time dredge each side in egg, then transfer to panko mixture and coat and press both sides of salmon in panko mixture (also sprinkle panko mixture over top and press to help stick).
• Transfer to prepared wire rack on baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining 3 portions (If you have extra breading sprinkle over fillets and gently press down to and even layer so they brown evenly).
• Bake in preheated oven until salmon is barely cooked through, about 10 - 15 minutes (bake time will vary based on thickness of salmon).
• Serve with lemon slices for spritzing over.

BAKED PARMESAN CRUSTED SALMON WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE

• Spread panko on baking tray, spray generously with oil then bake for 3 to 5 minutes until light golden brown. (Note 6) Scrape into bowl immediately.
• Add butter and stir, then add remaining Parmesan Crumb ingredients.
• Line same tray with foil. Place salmon on foil.
• Spread Dijon on salmon using a butter knife. Just a thin coating - like buttering toast.
• Sprinkle Crumb all over.
• Bake for 20 minutes for just cooked juicy perfection, or to taste. (Note 7)
• Remove from oven. Loosen salmon from foil using egg flip or butter knife - skin will hopefully be stuck to foil.
• Plate watercress on serving platter.
• Use foil to lift salmon onto watercress on serving plate, then slide out the foil from under it (see video under recipe). Serve with Lemon Cream Sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish; add milk. Turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes; drain., Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine the pecans, flour, brown sugar, seasoned salt and pepper. Coat fillets with pecan mixture, gently pressing into the fish., In a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, brown salmon over medium-high heat in oil. Bake at 400° until fish just begins to flake easily with fork, 8-10 minutes.

PANKO-CRUSTED BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (convection or regular). Set the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet skin-side-down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Make the seasoned mustard and panko topping: In a small bowl, combine the honey mustard and 1 teaspoon of the thyme. In another small bowl, mix the panko with the remaining 1 teaspoon of thyme, 4 teaspoons of olive oil, parsley, and paprika. Add salt and pepper (a light sprinkle).
• Top the salmon with mustard and panko: Using a small spoon, spread the mustard mixture on the salmon; top with the bread crumb mixture.
• Roast the salmon and serve: Roast the salmon for 12-14 minutes (test after 10 minutes), or until it is almost completely firm to the touch and flakes when poked with a fork. Serve at once.

THE BEST BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.
