Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 27 g light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 60 ml panko breadcrumbs
- 120 ml parsley leaves, chopped
- 28 g unsalted butter, melted
- 680 g skin-on salmon fillet, preferably centre-cut
- 1 tablespoon Dijon
Instructions
-
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.
