minutesIngredients
4 x 120-150g salmon fillets de-boned (at room temperature)
¼ cup fresh parsley, very finely chopped
1 Tbsp capers, finely chopped
1 lemon, finely grated zest
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup panko or other dried breadcrumbs (use gluten free if necessary)
3 Tbsp parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 tsp Dijon mustard mixed with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil to drizzle
- To serve
1 lemon cut into wedges
Steamed broccoli or other green vegetables
Directions
- Preheat oven grill to high. Line a baking or oven tray with baking paper.
- Mix parsley, capers, lemon zest, garlic, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese together.
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place, skin-side-down, on prepared tray. Spread Dijon mustard mixture on top of salmon, dividing equally. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top, packing it on lightly. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil. Place in the oven (on the middle shelf) to cook for 5-6 minutes or until crust is golden and salmon is just cooked through. Watch it carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn as some oven grills can be extremely hot!
- Serve with steamed broccoli or other green vegetables, and a wedge of lemon to squeeze over just before eating.
