Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (6 to 8 ounces each) Pat dry before coating.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated if possible.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch) Use panko for a lighter, crispier crust.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for serving Lemon wedges

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly blended.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet on top with olive oil.
  4. Press the cheese and breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fillet, ensuring the crust holds together.
  5. Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the salmon flakes easily.
  2. Check doneness with a thermometer; aim for 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh herbs.
