  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Vegetable

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine a couple cloves of minced garlic with extra virgin olive oil, hot pepper flakes, kosher sea salt, and some freshly cracked pepper. Add broccoli and toss. 
  • Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and place the vegetables around the perimeter of the sheet pan, leaving room for the fish in the middle.
  • In a second small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise with a little soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt. 
  • Place the fish in the middle of the sheet pan and coat it with the sauce, making sure to get the sides as well. 
  • In a third small mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and lemon zest.
  • Generously apply breadcrumb mixture on top of the salmon steaks. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F. To check for doneness, insert a fork in the center of the salmon steak…it should flake easily. And the vegetables should have a nice “al dente” bite. 
  • Serve with a glass of Chardonnay.

Notes

  • A couple tips and hints about sheet pan cooking
    • Always use a sheet pan with a rim (unless you want a mess on the bottom of the oven).
    • Line your sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly oil it (the food won’t stick, so there’s easy cleanup).
    • Stay away from the fancy and more expensive “non-stick” sheet pans. When you accidentally scratch that non-stick surface, you’ll eat it…
    • Don’t crowd the food. Leave room in between so the food bakes and doesn’t steam.
    • Think of sheet pan cooking as you would one-pot cooking. Same idea.
