Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Press the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
  5. Arrange the lemon slices around and on top of the salmon.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried dill or parsley to the Parmesan mixture.
  • If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs can be used, but the crust may not be as crispy.
  • This recipe is a great option for meal planning, and leftovers can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
