Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 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 oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over the top of each salmon fillet. This will help the Parmesan crust adhere and keep the fish moist.
Spoon the Parmesan mixture generously over the mayonnaise-coated side of each salmon fillet, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the Parmesan crust to help it crisp up during baking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Parmesan-crusted salmon warm with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
