Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and apply cooking spray to the baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice. Ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
-
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Season the fillet with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Evenly spread the Parmesan mixture over the top of the salmon fillet, pressing it gently so that it sticks to the fish.
-
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the salmon salmon is cooked and the crust turns a beautiful golden brown.
-
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven. Serve your Baked Parmesan Crusted Salmon hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired. It pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
Notes
Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so keep an eye on them. Feel free to adjust the amount of Parmesan mixture according to your taste preferences. If you want a thicker crust, add more coating.
