- Spread the mayonnaise mixture on top of each fillet.
- In a separate bowl, use a fork to combine the panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried dill, and melted butter.
- Evenly spread the bread crumb mixture over the mayonnaise on each salmon fillet. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet. Always make sure that your salmon reaches an internal temperature of at leasrt 145 degrees Fahrenhiet.
Notes
- Serving a crowd- This can be made with a whole salmon fillet instead of small fillet cuts. The bake time will be longer though.
- Make-ahead- the mayonnaise mixture can be slathered on hours before topping with the crust and baking.
- Bake time- If the salmon is cold out of the fridge, it may take longer to bake.
