Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Parmesan Crust

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the salmon to a perfect crisp.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  3. Position Salmon: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Apply Olive Oil and Lemon Juice: Drizzle the salmon evenly with olive oil and lemon juice to add flavor and moisture.
  5. Mix Parmesan Topping: In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form the crust mixture.
  6. Add Parmesan Crust: Evenly sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the top of the salmon, covering it completely for a crispy topping.
  7. Bake Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the Parmesan topping is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy crust and tender fish at their best.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • If using a thick salmon fillet, adjust the baking time accordingly to ensure it cooks through.
  • Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
