Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet

Parmesan Crust

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Place Salmon: Lay the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if skin is on.
  4. Drizzle Oil and Lemon Juice: Evenly drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the surface of the salmon to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Mix Parmesan Topping: In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the crust mixture.
  6. Apply Topping: Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet to ensure a uniform crust.
  7. Bake Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (flakes easily with a fork) and the Parmesan topping turns golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the crispy Parmesan crusted baked salmon immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Check salmon for doneness by ensuring it flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor in the crust.
  • You can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Substitute dried parsley with fresh parsley if preferred, adding it after baking to maintain freshness.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
