Ingredients

  • 4 ounce salmon fillets about 2 pounds total
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter for whisking into the sauce
  • 1 large lemon cut into wedges, for serving
For the seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pinch crushed hot red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400f and set one rack to the middle level and the other rack to the second highest level.
  2. Mix the seasoned breadcrumbs ingredients together. Adjust salt and pepper if needed and set aside.
  3. Arrange the salmon pieces skin side down in a large baking dish (9x13 works wells) and pat dry with paper towels. Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Pack a thin layer of the breadcrumbs onto the top of each piece of salmon. If the breadcrumb topping is too dry, drizzle a bit more olive onto each piece. Sprinkle up to 2 more tablespoons of the breadcrumbs into the dish. The remaining breadcrumbs can be saved for another purpose. Pour the chicken stock and white wine around the salmon.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through (the salmon should be flaky when pulled apart with a fork). If a more golden top is desired move the baking dish to the higher rack and broil for 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning!
  6. Place salmon into a serving platter. Whisk the butter into the sauce and pour around the salmon pieces. Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

  •   
  • The breadcrumbs should be moist and drizzled with olive oil so that they don't dry out during the broiling process.
  • The sauce is excellent spooned on top of the salmon and/or great for bread dipping.
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
