Step-by-Step Instructions for Panko Crusted Salmon

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, minced garlic, dijon mustard, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Place the salmon fillets in a deep baking dish. Spoon the panko mixture over each fillet and press gently to adhere.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 140°F internally.
Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Plate the salmon, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
