Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds salmon wild caught or farm raised, with skin on or off
1/4 cup salted butter melted
3 cloves garlic finely minced, about 1/2-1 tablespoon
3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Unwrap salmon and press with paper towels to dry. Place onto baking sheet.
In a small bowl, stir melted butter together with minced garlic, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. It should look like damp sand.
Spread crumbs over salmon and press an even layer overtop the entire filet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked. (Thicker pieces of salmon will take longer.)
Cool slightly, cut into pieces and serve.
