Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure your salmon cooks perfectly.
Step 2: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down and pat it dry. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese. Mix until crumbly.
Step 4: Evenly spread the garlic mixture over the top of the salmon using a pastry brush.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the topping is golden brown.
Step 6: Let it rest for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite sides.
