Ingredients
- 4 Salmon Filets
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- Parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust Mixture. In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
- Prep the Salmon. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is on.
- Apply the Crust. Press the Parmesan mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even layer. Gently press down to help the crust adhere to the salmon.
- Bake the Salmon. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F.
- Serve. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
