Ingredients
Method
- Follow these simple steps to create this incredible dish.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the topping: In a mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the salmon: Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Add mustard: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the top of each salmon fillet to help the crust adhere and add flavor.
- Apply the crust: Generously sprinkle the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture over the mustard-coated salmon, pressing down lightly to ensure it sticks.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
- Check doneness: Ensure the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top if desired, and enjoy.
