Parmesan Crusted Salmon
Ingredients
  • 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
2
To prevent sticking, lightly coat the interior surface of a 9x13-inch rectangular baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray.
3
Carefully position the salmon fillets within the prepared baking pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a burst of citrus flavor, while sprinkling it over the salmon enhances its natural taste.
5
To bring out the flavors of the salmon, season it with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
6
To create a crunchy, flavorful topping, combine panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a bowl.
7
Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, allowing each piece to be fully coated.
8
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake until the topping is lightly browned and the salmon flakes easily with a fork, requiring 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time.
