Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 2 cups (crushed) Potato chips (regular or flavored, depending on preference)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and black pepper. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Spread a thin, even layer of the mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed potato chips, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the chips.
Press the potato chip mixture firmly onto the mayonnaise-coated top of each fillet, ensuring a thick, even crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The potato chip crust should be golden and crispy.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. For a finishing touch, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the potato chip crusted salmon with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness. Pair with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or steamed rice.
