Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the toasted breadcrumbs, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, dill, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place on the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere to the top and sides of each piece.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
Notes
Choose salmon fillets that are similar in thickness for even cooking. If your fillets are thicker than 1 inch, add 2-3 minutes to the cooking time. The breadcrumb topping can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead and stored at room temperature. Leftover salmon keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
