Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, and dill along with salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the lemon herb mixture evenly over each fillet, ensuring each piece is well coated.
In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest until combined.
Spread the Greek yogurt mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
