This crispy Parmesan-crusted salmon features a golden, crackling crust made from grated Parmesan, herbs, and garlic powder. The fish is baked to perfection with a tender, flaky interior and a light, flavorful coating. The technique ensures maximum crispness without burning the cheese.

  • Total Time: 25
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

✓ 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan
✓ 1 tablespoon lemon juice
✓ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
✓ 1 teaspoon dried parsley
✓ Salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
✓ 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet

Instructions

✓ Preheat oven to 425°F

✓ Pat salmon fillet completely dry

✓ Brush top lightly with olive oil

✓ Mix Parmesan crust ingredients in a small bowl

✓ Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of the salmon

✓ Press gently to make sure it adheres well to the oil-coated surface

✓ Place the salmon on a lined baking sheet

✓ Bake for 12–15 minutes

✓ Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving

✓ Garnish with fresh lemon juice and fresh parsley

Notes

Let salmon sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before seasoning. Use a sharp grater for Parmesan to ensure it sticks well. The crust may slightly lose crispness if prepared up to 30 minutes in advance, but a quick 5-minute reheat brings it back. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
