Here's a crowd-pleasing way to serve salmon! Our Golden Salmon Bake is creamy, crunchy, and mouthwatering-good. It features a homemade, mayo-based dressing and a crunchy, butter cracker topping that's irresistible. Even picky eaters will be asking for seconds!

What You'll Need

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Italian dressing
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet onion
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dressing, mustard, and onion; mix well.
In another small bowl, combine bread crumbs, butter, and paprika; mix well.
Sprinkle salmon evenly with salt and pepper on both sides, and place in baking dish. Spread mayonnaise mixture over salmon, then sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Do you think this would work for Tilapia too?

Hi there! Happy Thursday. This topping will work great with any fish, but because Tilapia is a thinner fish then salmon, we would suggest using a little less of the topping, just because we wouldn't want to eat more topping than fish! Enjoy. :)
