Crispy Parmesan Salmon Bake
Crispy Parmesan Salmon Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish featuring salmon topped with a rich blend of Parmesan cheese and crunchy breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 4 fillets salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil For drizzling
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice For flavor enhancement
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped Optional for garnish
For the Topping
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Use gluten-free if necessary
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough to create that crispiness.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the salmon fillets on the sheet, then drizzle each one with olive oil and lemon juice to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Generously press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Baking
- Put the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The fish should be cooked through, and the topping should be golden brown.
Serving
- If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the salmon before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.
Notes
Serve your Crispy Parmesan Salmon Bake immediately when it comes out of the oven. It pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. A wedge of lemon on the side can enhance the dish's flavors when squeezed over the salmon just before eating. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, place the salmon back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through to help retain some of the crispy texture.
