For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs for 30 minutes before baking. If you don't have fresh bread crumbs, you can use panko bread crumbs for a crispier crust. Feel free to add other vegetables to the baking sheet, such as cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and lemon wedges for serving.
