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.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  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.
  5. Season two 6-ounce salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Generously coat both sides of each fillet with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Place salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve immediately, drizzled with your favorite cream sauce (recipe suggestion below).
