Today I’m sharing a recipe that I enjoy and it is Baked Crusted Salmon.
My sister in law is famous for making tender and flavorful baked salmon, and I’m dedicating this post to her, since she is the one who gave me tips on how to make the perfect salmon.
I guess salmon is a type of fish that can taste delicious just by adding salt and black pepper, all you have to be careful with is the baking time.
I had my bad luck with salmon before, I made it dry, salty, I even managed to burn it, but hey, practice makes perfect, if I didn’t go through all those experiences I wouldn’t have come up with Baked Crusted Salmon recipe!
There are many types of salmon in the market and they are slightly different in color too. When it comes to cooking, (to me) they all taste almost the same except maybe some have more fat.
Having said that, today’s recipe of Baked Crusted Salmon can be used with any type of salmon, actually even with any type of fish, just make sure that the bread crumbs you are using is toasted.
