Salmon Oreganata
Salmon Oreganata features salmon fillets topped with a crisp mixture of plain breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, oregano, and lemon zest. The salmon is baked with white wine poured around the fillets to keep them moist, then broiled briefly to achieve a golden brown crust. This preparation balances tender, flaky fish with a flavorful herb and cheese crust and a bright lemon finish for an elegant, aromatic seafood dish.

- Bake in the oven 10-12 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. Then, broil 1-2 minutes until breadcrumbs are golden brown (keep a close eye to make sure they don't burn).

Notes
- Use plain, unseasoned dried breadcrumbs to control seasoning; adjust salt and herbs accordingly.
- Pour white wine around salmon in the baking dish to avoid soggy topping and keep moisture.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice just before serving for added flavor brightness.
- Use the pan juices mixed with baked breadcrumbs as a sauce over the salmon.
