Anweisungen

Gather all the ingredients. If your salmon still has the skin on, skin the salmon fillet.

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). For a convection oven, reduce cooking temperature by 25ºF (15ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp dried thyme in a frying pan and toast over medium heat until golden brown. Transfer browned panko into a shallow dish and allow to cool.

Cut 1 lb skinless salmon fillet into blocks 2 inches (5 cm) wide, then cut diagonally into about ½–inch (1.3-cm) slices. Sprinkle Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides of the salmon.

In a shallow dish, add ¼ cup all-purpose flour (plain flour). In another shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg (50 g each w/o shell). Dredge each salmon piece in the flour to coat completely, pat off the excess flour. Then, dip into the egg and finally coat with the toasted panko. Press on the panko flakes to make sure they adhere to the salmon.

Place the salmon pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until the salmon is just cooked through, about 15–20 minutes (check at 15 minutes). Serve with ketchup or Homemade Tartar Sauce.
