Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and lightly season them with salt and pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and olive oil. Mix well to create a crumbly topping.
In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. This will act as a binding layer for the topping.
Spread a thin, even layer of the mayo-mustard mixture over the top of each salmon fillet using the back of a spoon.
Press the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the mayonnaise layer on each fillet, ensuring the top is evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
