How to Make Awesome Baked Salmon With Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.

  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until crumbs are golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil.
