Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, and dill along with salt and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the lemon herb mixture evenly over each fillet, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest until combined.

Step 5

Spread the Greek yogurt mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
