  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, zest of 1 lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Mix well to combine.
  4. Stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted butter until evenly moistened.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  7. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  8. Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
