Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 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 oil.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over the top of each salmon fillet. This will help the Parmesan crust adhere and keep the fish moist.

Step 5

Spoon the Parmesan mixture generously over the mayonnaise-coated side of each salmon fillet, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the Parmesan crust to help it crisp up during baking.

Step 7

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Parmesan-crusted salmon warm with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
