Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Salmon fillets (about 4 servings)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until you have a thick paste.
- Spoon the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing lightly so it adheres.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use fresh lemon zest in the crust mixture for extra brightness.
- For a crispier crust, briefly place the salmon under the broiler for the last minute, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Salmon thickness affects cooking time; adjust as necessary for your fillets.
