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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Oil and Lemon: Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and lemon juice evenly over the top to add flavor and moisture.
- Mix Parmesan Topping: In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the crust mixture.
- Apply Topping: Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the salmon fillet, ensuring full coverage for a crispy crust.
- Bake Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- You can substitute dried parsley with fresh parsley for a fresher flavor, but reduce the quantity slightly.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- For an extra crispy topping, you can broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking—watch closely to avoid burning.
