Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the salmon evenly and achieving a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Place Salmon: Lay the salmon fillet flat on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is on.
  4. Add Olive Oil and Lemon: Drizzle the salmon evenly with the olive oil and lemon juice, which will lock in moisture and add a fresh, tangy flavor.
  5. Mix Parmesan Topping: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the flavorful crust mixture.
  6. Apply Topping: Evenly sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the top of the salmon, ensuring full coverage to create a crispy, savory crust once baked.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until it is cooked through and the Parmesan topping turns golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately to enjoy the salmon at its freshest and crispiest.

Notes

  • For an even crispier crust, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste; adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor and brightness.
  • Salmon is best served immediately to maintain the crispness of the Parmesan crust.
  • Check the salmon’s internal temperature with a thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
