Parmesan Crusted Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 (4 oz each) salmon fillets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• kosher salt & black pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley ((or 1 teaspoon dried parsley))
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Place salmon filets onto the sheet pan and pat them dry with a paper towel. Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon and season them with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, and garlic powder until well combined. Evenly spread the mixture on top of each salmon fillet.

4. 4

   Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes apart easily with a fork, the parmesan topping is golden brown, and the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145℉.*Some may prefer salmon at 125℉ for a more tender salmon, which is acceptable if that's your preference.
