4 lb. wild salmon fillet
2/3 c. plain breadcrumbs

4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 c. butter, melted
3/4 t. salt, or to taste

Position rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a large piece of aluminum foil.
Place the salmon fillet, skin side down, on the baking sheet; set aside.
Mix together breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley and garlic in a small bowl; pour in melted butter; season with 3/4 t. salt and 1/3 t. pepper. With hands, mix the ingredients together until the breadcrumbs absorb.
Pour mixture over salmon, pressing it into the top until the fillet is completely covered.
Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fillet, until the crust is golden, the salmon is cooked and flakes easily with fork.
