Herb-infused Bread Crumb Magic:
In a bowl, embark on the creation of a flavorful breadcrumb mixture by combining the finely minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, destemmed fresh thyme, a touch of dried thyme, the vibrant zest of two lemons, and a generous pinch of salt. Mix this aromatic ensemble well, creating a symphony of flavors that will elevate your salmon to new heights. -
Buttery Bliss:
Introduce 4 tablespoons of softened butter into the breadcrumb mixture, tossing it lightly to create a velvety coating that will embrace every inch of the salmon fillet. Set this heavenly concoction aside, letting the flavors mingle and intensify. -
Preparing the Salmon Canvas:
Gently pat dry the star of our dish – the salmon fillet. Place it majestically, skin side down, in a generously greased baking dish, ready to absorb the forthcoming burst of flavors. -
Brushing Elegance:
Embrace the salmon with the remaining butter, ensuring that it is bathed in a luxurious coat that promises both succulence and a golden finish. Now, cover the salmon with the previously prepared breadcrumb mixture, creating a visual masterpiece that hints at the delectable experience to come. -
Baking Symphony:
Preheat your culinary haven to 350°F (175°C). Place the adorned salmon in the oven and let it dance in the heat for 20-25 minutes or until it graciously flakes at the touch of a fork. This is the moment where our creation transforms into a culinary masterpiece. -
Serving Euphoria:
As the delightful aroma fills your kitchen, delicately remove the Lemon Herbed Salmon from the oven. Plate it with pride, serving each portion with a side of joy and a garnish of fresh herbs or lemon slices for an extra touch of elegance. -
