broiled salmon with herb crust

2
 

 
  This is a great and easy dish to prepare for a dinner party because you don't have to flip each piece of fish and you know they are all cooking evenly.

 
 
 ingredients:

for the salmon:

2 pieces of salmon, boned and skinned

cooking spray

salt and pepper, to taste

for the herb crust:

1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 T chopped fresh herbs
(I used basil, parsley and rosemary. If you only have dried herbs, only use 1 T)

1/4 cup grated parmesiano-reggiano cheese

2 T olive oil

 

 
 method:

Turn on oven broiler to low (if possible. If you only have one broiler setting make sure oven rack in lower than the middle so crust doesn't burn).

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

In a small bowl combine breadcrumbs, herbs, cheese and oil. Stir to combine. Make sure oil is evenly dispersed.

Place salmon fillets on baking sheet, spray the tops with cooking spray and season with salt and pepper

Press the breadcrumb topping onto the tops of each fillet, making sure it is sticking to the salmon.

Place in oven and broil for 10-12 mins (if you're broiling on high, just keep an eye on your topping - it can burn really REALLY fast! If it's getting too hot place a sheet of foil over the fish for a few minutes while it finished cooking)

Remove fish from oven, and serve.
