Ingredients

• 2-1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
• 1 salmon fillet (3 to 4 pounds)
• Lemon wedges, optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, thyme, lemon zest and salt; mix well. Add 4 tablespoons butter and toss lightly to coat.
2. Pat salmon dry. Place skin side down in a greased baking dish. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; cover with crumb mixture. Bake until salmon just begins to flake easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, serve with lemon wedges and top with additional fresh thyme.
