  5. Bake fish for about 15-18 minutes, until cooked through and flaky. If breadcrumbs aren’t golden brown, then broil for 1-2 minutes, just until golden brown.

Notes

  • For a golden brown crust, carefully broil salmon under medium-high heat (watching the entire time!) for a crunchy texture and deeper color.
