Ingredients

Salmon

  • 3-4 salmon fillets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup Italian bread crumbs GF crumbs for GF
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
  • ½ tablespoon ground sage
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place salmon fillets.
  • In a small bowl combine bread crumbs, salt, pepper and herbs.
  • Top salmon with 1 teaspoon bread crumb mixture. Spray the top of the fillets with cooking spray so they will brown up in the oven. **
  • Bake at 350 degrees until fish is opaque and flaky - about 25 to 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Use a paper towel to pat the salmon dry before coating with the topping to help it stick to the fish better.
  • Leftover salmon will keep for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven, rather than the microwave, to prevent the topping from becoming soggy.
** You can alternatively add 1 teaspoon olive oil to your bread crumb mixture to instead of spraying with cooking spray.
