How to Make Baked Crumbed Salmon With Creamy Herb Sauce

  1. **Make the Herb Cream Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter.
  3. **Prepare the Breadcrumb Topping:** In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. **Toast Breadcrumbs:** Sauté the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the bread crumbs are golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil.
  5. **Prepare the Salmon:** Season two 6-ounce salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Generously coat both sides of each fillet with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. **Bake the Salmon:** Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. **Serve:** Top each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of the chilled herb cream sauce and serve immediately.
