Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Parmesan Crust

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 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 ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the salmon with a crispy topping.
  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 present.
  4. Drizzle Olive Oil and Lemon Juice: Evenly drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Mix Parmesan Crust: In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
  6. Apply Crust: Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the salmon fillet to create a flavorful crust.
  7. Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the Parmesan topping is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture and tender fish at its best.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • If using frozen salmon, thaw completely before baking for even cooking.
  • Fresh parsley can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if Parmesan cheese is already very salty.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
