Salmon Fillet Topped with Pamela’s Amazing Toasted Bread Crumbs

Though simple to prepare, this beautiful presentation is certain to impress, and the rich toasted crumb-topping complements salmon perfectly.

1 cup Pamela’s Amazing Toasted Gluten-free Bread Crumbs
2 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs, such as dill, thyme, or chervil, or 2 teaspoons dried herbs
1 clove fresh garlic, finely mashed, or 1/4 teaspoon powdered garlic
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds (optional)
salmon fillet, about one pound, rinsed and patted dry S
salt and pepper to season
freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon
lemon for garnish

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine Pamela’s Amazing Toasted Gluten-free Bread Crumbs with fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make crumb topping. Stir in finely chopped nuts, if using. Lightly oil a baking pan large enough that fillet will rest flat.

Season fillet with salt and pepper on both sides, and place in pan, skin side down. Squeeze lemon juice over fillet. Place crumb topping on top, and pat gently to compress and flatten.

Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until fish is flaky and topping is nicely browned.

Serve garnished with additional lemon.
