Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and lightly season them with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and olive oil. Mix well to create a crumbly topping.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. This will act as a binding layer for the topping.

Step 5

Spread a thin, even layer of the mayo-mustard mixture over the top of each salmon fillet using the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Press the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the mayonnaise layer on each fillet, ensuring the top is evenly coated.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
