Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Parmesan Crust

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the salmon perfectly.
  2. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Place salmon: Arrange the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if it has skin.
  4. Add oil and lemon juice: Drizzle the salmon evenly with olive oil and lemon juice to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Make Parmesan mixture: In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
  6. Apply the crust: Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the Parmesan topping is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, pairing with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of paprika to the Parmesan mixture for a little color and subtle smoky flavor.
  • Fresh parsley can be substituted for dried parsley for a brighter herb taste.
  • This salmon pairs exceptionally well with roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
